Hello and thanks in advance for the help. I'm a W-2 employee in NY and I live and have a rental property that I manage actively in NJ. I had an fender bender accident while making material purchases with truck for my rental. Repair is estimated at $3k. Didn't resource to the insurance due to my high deductible and likely an increase in my insurance premiums. Can I write some of this cost off? I'm in the section of Federal Taxes>Deductions & Credits > Casualty Loss or Theft. The "federally declared disaster" is throwing my off. In order to qualify for an car accident casualty, it must had happened during a federally declared disaster? If I'm understanding correctly, I wouldn't qualify. If I can't use it in this section for deductions, can i write-off maybe in rental/qbi expenses? Which section would be ideal to annotate that as business expense in rentals

I assume that you are referring to your form W-2.
You do not write in the pizza shop's name in box 20. Box 20 if needed if box 19 is populated with a number, otherwise leave box 20 blank.

You can either itemize deductions, or take a standard deduction, but not both.
It my look like you should be getting Itemized deductions based on the raw numbers,
but after crunching the numbers it may not be the best choice for you.
There have been many changes to the Itemized deduction limitations. Here are some of the limitations to Itemized deductions
Medical expenses: You can only deduct the amount of your medical and dental expenses that is more than 7.5% of your AGI.
Mortgage Interest: You can deduct the interest you paid during the tax year on the first $750,000 of your mortgage debt for your primary home or a second home. If you are married filing separately, the limit drops to $375,000.
Local Taxes: Your deduction of state and local income tax, general sales, and property taxes is limited to a combined total deduction of $10,000 ($5,000 if married filing separately).
Business expenses for employees is no longer allowed.
There may be other limitations that are not listed.
Finally, the total of all deductions must be greater than the Standard deduction.
The standard deduction amounts for 2024 are:
$29,200 – Married Filing Jointly or Qualifying Surviving Spouse
$21,900 – Head of Household
$14,600 – Single or Married Filing Separately
For 2024, the additional standard deduction amounts for taxpayers who are 65 and older or blind are:
$1,950 for Single or Head of Household
$1,550 for married taxpayers or Qualifying Surviving Spouse
