There is a difference in capital gains the company distributed to you and your losing money in a fund. If you did not sell the fund, you would not recognize a loss. If you sold the fund, then you would recognize the loss on your taxes and you would have a 1099-B for the sale of the fund. The capital gains are on a1099-DIV and not related to a sale.
