Yes, but with employee stock it is possible the discount you received when you acquired it was reported on your W-2 form in that year. If so, you would add that to your cost basis which would increase your capital loss. In most instances the discount is reflected on your W-2 in the year you sell the stock, however. In that case you don't need to bother with it, since the stock was never sold.
