Question

I lost a Cancer Biotech stock CLDX after it went down. My money $72,000 was tied up as a SEP IRA. Can I deduct any of my losses?

Sorry, but no.   Gains or losses in an IRA are not reportable outside of the IRA.  A loss means that there is less money in the IRA to pay tax on when distributed.
