Message-ID: <433@inuxd.UUCP> Date: Wed, 1-Feb-84 11:07:17 EST Article-I.D.: inuxd.433 Posted: Wed Feb 1 11:07:17 1984 Date-Received: Fri, 3-Feb-84 02:44:55 EST Organization: AT&T Consumer Products Div., Indianapolis Lines: 16 I would like to know if anyone knows where to file an investment loss using the 1040 federal tax form. For alI know it might not even be possible. I'm not sure what the investment was. From what I can tell it was either an investment in Gems, the goverment oil lease program or something like that. The company went out of business and the guy lost a small investment. He asked if I could find a way to write the loss of in taxes. This is all the information I have to go on. If anyone can give some possible ways to write off the loss I would appreciate the information. Thanks in advance. G. K. Wade
