Sam had purchased the car for 30,000. The automobile had a fair market value of 20,000 before the accident and 8,000 immediately after the accident. Sam has taken 20,000 of depreciation on the car. The car is insured for the fair market value of any loss. Because of Sams history, he is afraid that if he submits a claim, his policy will be canceled. Therefore, he is considering not filing a claim. Sam believes that the tax loss deduction will help mitigate the loss of the insurance reimbursement. Sams current marginal tax rate is 35%. Write a letter to Sam that contains your advice with respect to the tax and cash flow consequences of filing versus not filing a claim for the insurance reimbursement for the damage to his car. Also prepare a memo for the tax files. Sams address is 450 Colonels Way, Warrensburg, MO 64093.arrow_forward
