    Investments which went backrupt
    Can you deduct on your taxes the amount you lost from the investment company who filed Chapter 7 Bankruptcy?

    Yes, as a casualty loss.

    However, you should have lost NOTHING due to the bankruptcy, as brokerage firms are required to maintain insurance on the assets they control.
