    TurboTax does not support tax losses from investment fraud. We recommend consulting a tax professional if you've experienced this situation.

     

    IRS Form 4684 is available using TurboTax but is not advisable for you to complete the form for a Ponzi type loss without professional assistance.

     

    Using the TurboTax desktop editions -

    Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home & Business)

    Click on Deductions & Credits

    Click on I'll choose what I work on

    Scroll down to Other Deductions and Credit

    On Casualties and Thefts, click on the start button.
