I worked for a company that had an esop plan for its employee's....the stock lost 35% of its value one year now that I'm retired and being forced to either cash it out or do a rollover can I deduct this loss on my taxes in 2017.
I received a letter yesterday stating that all former employees had to sell their stock this fall....what does this tell you about the company...I'm 60 years old

How old are you? Does the stock have a realized appreciation from when you bought it?

was this in your retirement account or a regular account?

If you have capital losses, you can take it. Although there are rules about how much per year, offsetting gains, etc. Pretty sure the limit is $3000. You can roll over your losses though.

It depends on whether you made purchases with pre tax money or after tax money. You may need to talk to a CPA to find out. There are special rules for ESOP's that may affect you.
