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).

The unlimited marital deduction applies when one spouse bequeaths property, such as stock, to the other spouse at death without incurring federal estate tax. This deduction enables the transfer of assets between spouses to occur without tax consequences, provided the recipient spouse is a U.S. citizen. However, if the bequest is made to a non-citizen spouse, the unlimited marital deduction does not apply, and there are different rules regarding the amount that can be transferred tax-free.
The Unlimited Marital Deduction applies when there is an outright bequest of stock to a surviving spouse. This allows the value of the stock to pass to the spouse without incurring federal estate taxes at the time of the decedent's death. The surviving spouse can then choose to hold, sell, or otherwise manage the stock, and any future appreciation in value will be taxed only upon their death. This provision encourages the transfer of wealth between spouses without immediate tax implications.

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.
