Filing a car on your income taxes (complete loss)

[Twista]

So, lets say you lost your car :hmm:


1. Your insurance doesn't cover what happen
2. You file it on your yearly income taxes.

What type of refund can you get for this? You get $0 from your insurance.. so its a total lost.

Any estimates??/

Thanks

I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, so I'll let someone else do it.

First, you need to prove current value at time of loss.
Now please see this link:

IRS Pub 547 deals with casualty losses. It is pretty explict
about what you can claim and how much and how to go about it.
