Unfortunately, you cannot.
A casualty loss deduction is limited to property losses, specifically the decline in value of the property due to the casualty. Ancillary costs are not deductible. Non-deductible ancillary costs would include items such as -
- temporary lodging,
- generators,
- improvements to prevent future casualties
- clean up costs except to measure the decline in value,
- rental cars after an auto accident, etc.
