If you have a stock that went out, like the company is gone, and you lost everything, then you can deduct the amount of the purchase. If you sold a house, any construction before the sale is also deductable.
Not sure where this falls but....
MIA Designers, Progammers that never complete the job and you have a deposit outstanding.
Also I am sure this could be applied for defunct clients....

Many individuals sell stocks that show a loss at year-end to reap a tax writeoff. Making the wrong move after the sale, however, can prevent these taxpayers from claiming deductions, warns Bob D. Scharin, editor of Warren, Gorham & Lamont/RIA's Practical Tax Strategies, a monthly journal written for tax professionals.
This harsh consequence comes from the "wash-sale" rule. It prevents you from selling shares at a loss and then reacquiring substantially identical ones within 30 days before or after the sale. You may be tempted to sell and repurchase if you think the loser you have been holding is finally on the verge of a rally. "In essence, the rules are designed to prevent you from claiming a loss deduction while your investment position remains substantially unchanged," Scharin explains.
The 30-day period is not impeded by year-ends. Thus, if you sell stock at a
loss on December 30, 2004, and buy it back on January 10, 2005, your 2004
loss will be disallowed.
Remember that some may not apply to you and other have stipulations on how they can be written off... ie depreciated over x amount of time, or % of total amount. So see a tax accountant and he will pick and choose which can be applicable to you.
