Generally, you can deduct some of the loss on your vehicle from an accident. Just remember: If the car's covered by insurance, the amount of loss will be reduced by any insurance reimbursement.
This loss is called a "casualty loss" – damage, destruction or loss of property from a sudden, unexpected or unusual event. TurboTax will let you explore itemized deductions to see if it is right for your situation.
