Is a stolen car considered a tax deduction when filing taxes?

Yes, if insurance didnt cover all of it.  You have to itemize to claim it.  Use form 4684 and Schedule A.  After you figure your loss you have to reduce it by $100 and then reduce it again by 10 percent of your Adjusted Gross Income.  Refer to IRS Publication 547

Car payments, no, assuming you own the car.\nHowever, you can deduct a proportionate amount of the interest on the note (or lease payment if car is leased), maintenance, repairs, gas, insurance, taxes etc.  The ratio will be your business miles divided by total mileage for the year.  If you have not (or do not) save your receipts, you can elect to use the standard mileage rate (changes each year) and apply that to your business mileage.  However, if you choose to use the actual expense method, you have to use that method as long as you have the car or are in that business.  You will have other issues as well if your business usage is over 50%.  I personally suggest people use the mileage rate since the record-keeping is easier and, unless you are driving a luxury auto, the deduction is typically higher.

If this is the only credit problem you have AND it is owed on this years (2005) taxes then yes. If it has already been classified as delinquent and reported as such then no, probably not.

That would be "double dipping" and is frowned upon. You could, however, review what your refund would look like if you just took the federal deductions and didn't receive the mileage checks.

You have the option of claiming either your total sales taxes that you paid or your state and local income taxes that you paid. If your total sales taxes are greater than your total state and locat income taxes, claim them including the sales tax on your car.

Were I worked if you were taxed exemt you would tell the clerk before they totaled your product. If it was the first time in that store you would have to fill out a form, showing your form with your tax id# on it. Your purchase is then totaled without the tax.

nothing that is available to the public. Yes law enforcement has a database. Serial numbers of property get entered when stolen like a vin/plate of a stolen car. If property is recovered by law enforcement they can run it in the system and it will come back with a hit if the serial number has been entered. Do you suspect you have stolen property in your possession? If you do take it down to your local police station and explain that you have this in your possession and want to be sure it was not stolen. Be honest with them because they will ask how you got it and who/where you got it from.

Grand theft is a theft of anything valued over $1000. The charge for stealing a car is Grand Theft Auto. Just a category for the charge.

I'm not a lawyer, but my mom's friend went through a similar situation. According to what they were told, if you have EVER given permission for your husband to drive this vehicle (or he had tacit permission), you can't report it stolen, even if the vehicle is in your name. You probably could report the cell phone stolen, but other than that (and this really stinks), you're probably out of luck. Maybe a lawyer will have better news. Sorry. :(\n\n<edit>\nYou wrote and said you didn't give him any permission to ever drive your car. I then went and did a bit of research online and found the link below. Basically, it says that, depending on where you live (laws vary from state to state), "(1) Community Property is Generally Defined in the Negative.  A married couple domiciled in a community property state is presumed to own all of their property as community or marital property, regardless of titling, absent:\n\n(a) An agreement to the contrary; or\n\n***(b) Proof that the property was brought into the marriage by either spouse, a gift received by either spouse, inherited by either spouse, or a spouse's separate property before the couple became domiciled in the community property state.  \n\nFurthermore, in Wisconsin, due to the fact that the marital property regime was recently enacted, classification depends heavily on whether the assets were acquired before or after "the determination date."  The determination date in Wisconsin is the last to occur of: (1) marriage, (2) date of establishment of domicile by both spouses in Wisconsin; or (3) January 1, 1986."\n\nSince you brought the car into the marriage and have proof in the title/registration that your car is, in fact, YOURS, I don't know why they won't let you report it stolen. You might call the district attorney's office and ask them. Best of luck!

Do you mean, do you have to pay taxes to the IRS on a personal loan, say, from a bank? Not that I am aware of. I've never had to pay taxes on a car loan, for instamce (on the car, yes, on the loan, no). In fact, some loans - such as home equity lines of credit - you can take a tax deduction on the interest.

Sales taxes are claimed on your Schedule A (If you own your home, or pay Real Estate taxes, this is where sales taxes are deductible, but only for Cars, Boats or home building materials.)  The alternative is keeping ALL your receipts for the year and adding up all your sales tax for the year to put in this area of the form instead of any state income tax paid.

I'm sorry about your string of bad luck. Let's take these one by one.  Insurance should cover part of the cost of the stolen car.  As to ebay, how did you pay? Paypal is supposed to deal with this sort of thing, as is your credit card--not receiving the goods paid for constitutes a "billing error" and you can file a complaint with your credit card company, if you used one.  If you paid with a money order or check, then you should still notify ebay, but also contact the State or District Attorney or consumer protection agency where the car seller is located, as what the seller did can constitute criminal theft. as well as fraud.  The house is a different matter:  why did you go to settlement if you didn't want to?  Why did you sign a contract to buy that house if you didn't want it?  I think you might be stuck on that one, I don't see fraud there based just on what you wrote here.  Besides, even if you don't like the house , you got a valuable asset for your money, and you can always sell it later and make a profit.

they should send you a paper that states wo to call or where to write if you had and property in the vehicle. seems unfair they should have to at least mail it to you but nope you have the burden of getting it back wherever it may be. they will also include a day and time that they will auction off the vehicle so you can have a chance to buy back. also just in case noone told you you will also be responsible for the amout of the loan over that of which they auction the vehicle off for.

What would you gain by selling it just to lose money and end up with a higher interest rate and no vehicle? Keep it and get a second job closer to home, or at least midway to the first one.  That way you can deduct on your income taxes the commuting expense from the first job to the second.  leastaways, you used to be able to do that... better check; the tax Nazis change these rules all the time.
