cientax Posted February 9, 2008 Report Posted February 9, 2008 I have a potential client coming in monday. She mentioned that she was a shareholder in an S-Corp and the S-Corp went belly up and issued her a letter mentioning that her stock is worthless. She did not mention what kind of stock it was, but she will be bringing the letter with her. She wants to know if she can take a loss on the worthless stock. I have never dealt with this before. Can some one please help. Thanks. Quote
JRS Posted February 9, 2008 Report Posted February 9, 2008 Look up IRS PUB 550. In Chapter 4, it explains worthless secuties. The link is for "Frequently Asked Questions" and gives you an over view. http://www.irs.gov/faqs/faq-kw210.html Quote
