Sold car in 2025 at a loss — report on federal or CA return?

[jackkgan]

I sold a personal-use car in 2025 for less than what I originally paid for it in 2011. 

Do I need to report this sale on my federal return or California state return and if so, how?

Thanks for your help!

You don’t have to report it. The loss is not deductible.
