I'll pay you a nickel for your interest. If you sell it to an
unrelated party, you can take the loss immediately.

You evidently have never looked at the Publication 550 reference you were
given days ago. Do so, and you'll find that the 7 years runs from when it's
worthless, which is when the court says it is.

Maybe your broker or a friend will buy it from you for $1.

So that means I can do nothing to recover my loss before the case
close? !

As I know the Debtor (XYZ company) was sued in several states for
investment fraud. If the case is not close within 7 years, will my
right to a tax refund from my loss expire?

But don't look for a bankruptcy "discharge" if your
investment is with a corporation or partnership - discharges
are issued only in personal Chapter 7 cases.

You can follow the progress of the bankruptcy case through
PACER - http://pacer.psc.uscourts.gov/

Not until the bankruptcy court says it is. You may get nothing, you may get
less than a penny on the dollar, but until that's known your security isn't
worthless.

Now all my investment is pennyless. Although the court process is not
settled yet, may I claim INVESTMENT THEFT based on IRS code 165 (c)
(2)? Thanks.

Sure, as long as it's not a class of buyer that would disqualify the loss.
See Publication 550.

Can he sell his interest to someone for a nominal price, and take the
loss in 2008?

You can't until your asset is worthless. That will been when the debtor has
been "discharged" from bankruptcy and you've been told how much you're
getting from the payout.

No. You show the loss on your return for the year it becomes worthless, and
the time for doing so in an amended return is extended to 7 years. See page
37 of IRS Publication 550.

Default How to Claim Capital Loss from Debtor Chapter 11 Bankruptcy

I invested XYZ company's note. On 1/21/05 XYZ company filed chapter 11
bankruptcy, it converted to chapter 7 bankruptcy on 5/17/05. Since
then I have not receive any capital loss statement except a notice
from a State branch of United States Bankruptcy Court.

It has been more than 3 years since XYZ filed bankruptcy. My question
is
1. How can I claim the capital loss with my tax return?
2. Will my right to a tax refund from my loss as an investor in XYZ
company's note expire on April 15, 2008?

Any suggestion is appreciated.
