					  <link>http://www.iinc.org/articles/470/1/Sinkholes-and-Insurance/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[Sinkholes are a natural component of the landscape in many states.

To qualify for the deduction, unreimbursed financial claims usually need to be substantial.  Any significant deductible or gap in insurance coverage — from fire, theft, vandalism, robbery or damage to vehicles — may qualify for this tax deduction. ]]></description>
