Hurricanes, frosts, freez-
ing weather, floods, fires,
other great natural disasters
are not the only reasons for
casualty loss deductions on
income tax returns. Far from
it.
You may have a deduct.ble
casualty loss when you
scrape or dent your car fen
ders, Scratch the body or
break a headlight. The only
bar to deducting such un-
insured car damages is will
ful negligence. It's the rare
motorist who creates this
kind of damage willfully.
So check back over 1862.
If you had some minor auto
accident which either cost
you money to repair or which
has made your car less val
liable because you decided
not to fix the damage, you
may have a deductible cas-
ualty loss.
OF course, yor can't de-
duct a casualty loss for
which the insurance company
made good in full. But here,
too, many of you overlook
an opportunity for tax saw
'ings. In most cases, you were
not reimbursed for the full
loss because most insurance
policies have a deductible
amount.
AS an illustration, say you
had a $3.50 damage to your
car covered by an insurance
policy with a $50 deductible
feature. You collected a
check for only 5000. Even
though you were covered by
insurance, you can still de-
duct the $50 loss which was
not reimbursed.
Technically, the amount of
your deductible casualty loss
Is the difference between the

value of your car before and
after the accident but not
more than the cost of this
car. To meet this require
ment, you would have to have
an appraisal of your cars
value before and after the
damage, But the Treasury
lets you use an easier, much
more practical way to meas
ure your deductible loss. If
you paid to have the car
repaired, you can submit
your repair bill as the
amount of your deductible
loss - assuming your repair
bill merely made good the
damage and didn't increase
your cars value over its pre-
damaged condition.
The casualty loss you can
deduct covers only damage to
your car in any accident. If
the accident, was your fault
and you must pay for the
damage to the other car.
that payment Is not a de-
ductible casualty loss.
Auto accidents account, of
course, for only a potion of
the casualty losses which you
can deduct.
Recheck for any property
damage you may have sus-
tained in 1862 because of ex-
treme cold, drought, heavy
storms, etc. Deduct for any
property which was stolen
from you last year. This is
one place where the tax law
makes the United States
Government share your loss.
Don't forfeit any legitimate
tax savings.
A large casualty loss de-
duction often is a red flag
to a tax agent. Thus be pre-
pared to prove:
