    they are not deductible.  while all the gains are tax-free when you take a distribution, the same goes for losses - they are 'tax-free' (i.e. not deductible).

    I should not muddy the waters but.. there was once a loophole where if you closed out all of a Roth at a loss you could claim a deduction. That was eliminated in the 2018 tax law changes. https://www.kiplinger.com/article/taxes/T046-C000-S001-last-call-for-deducting-roth-ira-losses.html

    It was a misc deduction on schedule A.  Only an answer to a trivia quiz now.
