Sorry for your car accident and hope you are okay.
Since tax year 2018 you cannot get a federal deduction for a casualty loss unless you are in a federal disaster area. Sorry.....a car accident is not in that category, so you cannot deduct anything for that on your tax return. You are posting from the Free Edition which does not support itemized deductions.
Unless you also have enough other itemized deductions to enter like mortgage interest, etc. that will add up to a total that exceeds your standard deduction, the sales tax on your car will not have any effect on your tax due or refund.
If you are single you would need more than $12,950 of itemized deductions.
