How do I show a loss on what my stocks were granted at , as opposed to what I sold them at? For example, they were granted at 22.88 per share and sold at 4.04 per share.

You'd report this exactly like any other stock sale, profit or loss. You use the "Stocks, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other" interview and you enter the information required:

Description of what was sold
Date of sale
Proceeds
Date of acquisition
Cost basis

In your case the Proceeds number is going to be smaller than the Cost basis number, generating a loss.
