A kid threw a water bottle at my car?

A kid threw a water bottle at my car and dented my car and chipped off paint? I have a police report. It cost about $1250. I didn't file an insurance claim because my deductible is like $1500. Can I claim damage deduction for the $1250?

No, personal losses are not deductible. Personal casualty losses are only deductible if they are due to a federally declared disaster.

If I am taking the mileage deduction for my rideshare business, can I also add expenses like new tires for the car, water bottles for riders, cell phone service, etc?
