Yes, although it depends on what type of loss you have. As the deposits were covered generally, so you really couldn't ahave a loss on that. If you own stock in the Co...the loss on stock is allowed against any other "capital" gains. There is a process of matching the type of Capital loss (long vs short term) and such...and any amount not used this year is first 3K a year allowed against ordinary income, and carried forward and useable against other future capital gains (+3K a year against ordinary income), for the next 20 years.
