A loss means that the stocks were sold for less than their basis (usually what you paid for them). You need to know what you paid for them and at what price they were sold. You also need to know whether the stocks are short-term (prior to the sale, you had them for one year or less) or long-term (more than one year). These losses are deductible and are reported on Schedule D(Capital Gains and Losses).
yes it goes under Stockholders Equity and it is a deduction to the equity account.
Yes. If a company goes bankrupt and, especially, if its business is liquidated, you can claim the full loss on the stock in the year the event occurred.

On Record you become an owner the moment the buy transaction is made in your name, provided you have enough money in your account when the deduction would happen for the purchase...
If you mean that you had a capital loss this year can you carry the capital loss back to a previous year, the answer is no unless you are a corporation. However, anyone except a corporation can carry a net capital loss forward to the next year after taking the mandatory up to $3000 deduction against ordinary income. Use the capital loss carryover worksheet in the next year's Schedule D instructions to learn how much you can carry over to the next year. If you mean can you revise a previous year's return to claim a capital loss you neglected to previously claim, the answer is yes. But generally, you can only claim a refund for up to three years after the original due date. This is extended to seven years for a claim resulting from worthless stock.
Yes, if you sold the stock for less than your basis or if there was an event that caused your stock to become worthless during the year. Note that this does not apply if the stock was in a tax-sheltered account such as an IRA or a 401k. If a bank went out of business causing the stock to become worthless, you can claim it as a loss. If the value of the stock went from $200 a share to $.02 a share, it is not yet worthless -- no deduction until you sell it.
No. You buy stock or options. You do not claim them
