Remember, these posts are just to give you a glimpse into the sometimes odd thinking of the US Tax Court, not to give you any ideas on how to get out of your taxes.<\/p>\n<p>First up we have Justin Rohrs, a man who slid his truck off an embankment, totaled his car, and was charged with driving under the influence. After being denied his insurance claim of $33,629, Rohrs attempted to <em>deduct the loss of his vehicle from his taxes<\/em>. He was originally denied, but somehow the US Tax Court decided that Rohrs&#8217; deserved a casualty loss deduction for his truck. According to tax law, if an accident was not caused by your own willful negligence or actions, the costs from the accident are a valid deduction. Somehow, a judge was convinced that drunk driving was not acting with negligence \u2013 moral of the story, don&#8217;t think you will be able to convince any other judge of the same.
