Wholesale deposit loss - anyway to deduct on taxes?

[Kitty Horeis]

Hi,

Before you say, ask a CPA, my people is online turbo tax.  I only have one rental, so never got a proper CPA before. We did try to acquire another property. It was a wholesale house where you have to put a Deposit of $10,000 down.  We ended up walking away and lost the $10,000. Any tips to write it off on taxes?
