    Answer: $0

    Explanation: As stated in the internal Revenue Code (IRC) as regards the limitations on losses of individuals. Summarily, Losses can only be deducted from tax returns if:

    1. Loss is incurred in a trade or business.

    2. Loss arising from a profit oriented transaction.

    3. Loss arising from theft, casualty or Natural disaster.

    However, Loss in the question above can be attributed to abandonment arising from the couple's personal decision which is not covered jn the reasons for loss deduction from tax income stated in the IRC.
