I invested in a startup company through an "internet startup fundraising platform" in 2016. I've received a K1 statement every year from the "Fund Manager" (a different entity that handles back-office tasks for private equity funds). While looking for the 2022 tax year K1 on the Fund Manager's website I see that they have gone out of business with no way to get any information. I inquired through the "internet startup fundraising platform" website about how I can get a K1 for 2022 and they informed me that they've reached out to the startup company I invested in repeatedly with no response. The "internet startup fundraising platform" (which is now undergoing an acquisition by another company) sent me a letter that says to the best of their knowledge the startup company I invested in has "ceased operations", they never received a "dissolution statement", that "your investment is effectively zero" and that they couldn't advise me on how to account for the investment loss on my taxes. Lesson learned...at this point I'm happy to take the tax loss, but have no idea how to go about it. How do I take the tax loss for my investment in TurboTax?
