Traditional IRA account closed because of $0 balance

My traditional IRA account was closed by my brokerage because I basically lost the entire amount (stock market loss) and had $0 balance remaining. They closed it without informing me and I came to know after the fact. Can IRS penalize me because my brokerage closed my $0 balance traditional IRA account? How can the traditional account closure be handled in turbo tax? Can I claim the losses since I lost my entire basis?
