	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.
