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.
Shares of stock returned by the post office to the states' treasuries until claimed or expiration of time to claim.
