The IRS website has information on what documents are acceptable:

The recognition of loss is dependent upon the nature and character of the loss. Was this investment property or hobby losses?

Selling an investment property at a loss means accepting less than what you initially paid for it. Generally, when a rental or investment property is sold at a loss your losses can be deducted from ordinary income. Again, this is the income most people report on a Form 1040 each year when they file their taxes.
Hobby losses are not deductible.
