Per IRS Pub 970 (page 61): "If you have a loss on your investment in a QTP(Qualified Tuition Plan) account, you may be able to claim the loss on your income tax return. You can claim the loss only when all amounts from that account have been distributed and the total distributions are less than your unrecovered basis. Your basis is the total amount of contributions to that QTP account. You claim the loss as a miscellaneous itemized deduction on Schedule A (Form 1040), line 23 (Schedule A (Form 1040NR), line 9), subject to the 2%-of-adjusted-gross-income limit."
