Although policies, limitations, and exclusions differ by state and company, in general, both homeowners and renters insurance typically cover your personal property worldwide against specified perils, including theft. Personal Property coverage under renter’s or homeowner’s insurance may cover your personal property against a number of types of losses you may encounter while cycling, including theft, vandalism, and being struck by vehicles. If your bike is stolen, depending on your policy, you will either be paid Actual Cash Value (ACV) for personal property, which is the most common. ACV is what the item is actually worth given its age. Less common is replacement cost coverage, which values an item at the actual cost of a new replacement item. This coverage may be more expensive than ACV but more desirable for the insured. In addition, when choosing a policy, you must also take into account the deductible, and if a claim is made, what it would ultimately cost you in the long run in terms of additional premium payments and how long these premium payments would be made.

Your federal tax refund can be calculated as follows: Income – adjustments to income = adjusted gross income. From this figure, subtract deductions and exemptions. The result is your taxable income. This is the figure that you will use to determine your tax. Once tax is determined, subtract credits, add additional taxes for your bottom line tax. After your bottom line tax has been determined, subtract your payments. The end result is your refund.

What the IRS will ask for depends on why you are being audited, Once the reason for the audit has been established, you may supply substantiation to support your tax position. For the most part, your audit correspondence should detail what item or items are in question and what substantiation is needed.
