No.

You already got a deduction in advance for the money you put in. You can't have a second deduction.

The only time you could get a deduction is if you made any non-deductible contributions to your Traditional IRA (TIRA). If you completely liquidate ALL of your TIRA accounts and the sum total of all the distributions you ever received is less than the total of your non-deductible contributions, then you can claim a miscellaneous itemized deduction (subject to the 2% floor) for the difference.

Can you get a tax exemption for money paid for a deductible on an accident claim if the accident is not your fault?

Prefaced by the standard - generally, under most circumstances, etc - and what your looking for is a deduction (of the expense), not an exemption (which would be advantageous if it was income). Yes, as it would be a casualty loss deduction. However, as the casualty deduction has some restrictions to meet before it can be claimed, which is likely not to be met by the generally modest amount of a deductible, unless you have losses on top of the deductible, it is likely not really available.

72(t) Distributions: Impact on retirement fund balances?

On the other hand, if you suffer losses your account balance may end up shrinking faster than you might expect. This calculator is designed to examine the affects of 72(t)/(q) distributions on your retirement plan balance.

Is the interest on a home loan tax deductible?

Maybe, it will depend upon if you have enough itemized deductions to exceed the Standard Deduction andyour adjusted gross income is less than $100,000.The Standard Deduction is an deduction from income based upon your filing status. The Standard Deduction is normally adjusted each year for inflation.In tax year 2011 the Standard Deduction for single or married filing separate was 5,800 and for married filing jointly was $11,600.So to be able to deduct every dollar of the interest on your home loan, you will need to have other Schedule A Itemized Deductions that exceeded your Standard Deduction.In other words, if your qualified medical expenses, state and local income taxes, home real estate taxes, charitiable contributions, casualty losses, education expenses, investment expenses, and legal expenses add up to be more than your Standard Deduction ($11,600 for married filing jointly) AND youradjusted gross income is less than $100,000 (married filing jointly) the interest on a home loan will be tax deductible.
