Presumably, the exit of General Motors from Chapter 11 has made (or is about to make) my GM stock worthless. This looks like a capital loss to my untrained eyes.
How do I declare this on my US 2009 returns? Is it just treated as a long-term transaction on the front of Schedule D? Do I just put down my total basis as the purchase price and "$0.00" as the sale price?
If not, is there some special form to use, or what?
Marginally related to the above question: I was taking advantage of the Dividend Re-Investment Program (DRIP). This means that I have a number of purchases. Can I aggregate them, or does each one need to be itemized individually?
