I bought the stocks in 2021, didn't sell them and now the company is inactive.

    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.
