Can I claim losses on delisted stock (the value is $0)?

To claim this loss, even though you are not able to sell the shares, you must record a disposition of the stock for $0 and an immediate re-possession at $0 according to Section 50(1) of the income tax act. You must also mail the CRA a signed letter stating that you would like Section 50(1) of the Income Tax Act to apply to this transaction. 

Thank you for choosing TurboTax.
