No not as a tax reduction. But when your 1040 federal income tax return using the schedule D of the 1040 is completed correctly and you have a capital loss on the sale of the stock it is possible that the limited amount of the loss would reduce your taxable income amount and thus could cause a reduction in your income liability when you get to the to page 2 Line 44 of your 1040 federal income tax return.

If you lost money on a financial institution stock can you claim it as a loss?

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.

Can I claim a tax deduction on stock loss when redeemed through sale?

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).
