- I have a car which was damaged in a flood, declared totalled by the
- insurance company. I am awaiting their settlement figure. How can
- this be used as a loss for tax purposes? If they say the car is worth
- x and I believe it is worth more (either through comparable adds or
- used car prices), can I declare the difference as a loss? What docs
- are required. Any thing I forgot or am missing? Thanks......Dave
