Damages to your swimming pool aren't tax deductible if the damages weren't due to a federally declared disaster.

 

If the flood was a federally declared disaster, you can claim the damage not covered by insurance (your deductible) as a disaster loss. This deduction is an itemized deduction on Schedule A.
