I had casualty losses from hurricane Irma in excess of $4000 and also losses from an auto accident of $1000. why do I only see $900 on my return so far??

To get the benefits of a qualified disaster loss, follow this answer but select the disaster that applies to you:

Also, you may not be looking in the right place. The qualified disaster loss is on line 15 of Form 4684 (the last copy, when line 14 is less than line 13) and from there it goes to Schedule A line 28 where it's added in with your other itemized deductions or added to your standard deduction, whichever is larger, and from there to Form 1040 line 40.

As TTPhillip says, the auto accident is a separate event and is subject to the 10% of AGI haircut on line 17 of Form 4684.

Without the ability to look at your return or information on this public online forum, I can only provide you with suggestions about possible problems.

Casualty and theft losses have large limits for personal property losses like homes. The loss from the car being total depends on whether this was a business or personal use vehicle (feel free to let me know more details)

Casualty losses are first reduced 100 dollars for each listed asset on Form 4684, and the total of the casualty losses must be equal to an amount that is greater than 10% of your adjusted gross income before any of your losses are deductible. For example, if your income is 100,000 dollars, the loss must be 10,001 dollars before 1 dollar of the loss is deducted.
