LO.3 Noelle's diamond ring was stolen in 2017. She originally paid $8,000 for the ring, but it was worth considerably more at the time of the theft.

Because the insur- ance claim was denied, Noelle took a casualty loss deduction for the stolen ring on her 2017 tax return. In 2017, Noelle had AGI of $40,000. In 2018, the insurance company had a "change of heart" and sent Noelle a check for $5,000 for the stolen ring. Determine the proper tax treatment of the $5,000 Noelle received from the insurance company in 2018.
