| I believe the casualty loss rules apply, but I'm not certain. (The FDIC limit was increased to $250,000 per depositor as part of the bailout.) | |

| The 250K was probably not retroactive, but I don't know.
Are you sure he lost the 20? I only ask because I was not aware that any depositor had actually lost money as of now. I've heard of people having to wait to get all their funds. | |

| That's is still to be determined. I just got asked the qustion and stratched my head and thought to ask. I was asked second hand and You are right, it was raised to 250k. thank for your thoughts. keep checking. | |

| The taxpayer has 2 choices. The taxpayer can elect to treat the loss as a nonbusiness casualty loss. If he does not make the election, then he must treat the loss as a nonbusiness bad debt.
I believe that Indymac depositors suffered uninsured losses. | |
