Problem solved. It's a federal disaster area so a personal casualty can be taken. However, with a personal casualty, when the insurance reimbursement is larger than the adjusted basis of the property the reduction in FMV is irrelevant, even if this reduction is lower than the adjusted basis. Because of this, Proconnect simply leaves the before and after FMV off of form 4684.
