in 2008 i invested $12,000. in what was found out a month later to be a ponzi scheme. i got one payment of $840. before that was found out. i never filed anything on my taxes that year. in 2011 i got a total of $4,521. back. so my total loss was $6639.
i am having a heck of a time figuring out the language in form 4684 and looking for help.
