If the loss was 15,000 or greater you may be able to deduct some of that loss on the 2016 tax return. You could amend the 2014 (up until the deadline) and the 2015 return to claim a refund for some of the deduction that went unclaimed as well.
Capital losses must be deducted (or reduced)by (at least) 3,000 dollars per year regardless of whether you take the capital loss deduction or not. Therefore a capital loss of 15,000 dollars would only be deductible for 5 years. (15,000/3,000 dollars=5 Years).
