I paid taxes on private stocks that got "distributed" to me. But the company did not buy back the stock and went bankrupt. How can I get back the tax I paid on the stock?

The company made me pay taxes on the distributed stock in 2016, but did not buyback the private stock that got distributed to me. And the company went bankrupt in 2019. How can I get back the tax I paid in 2016?

you can't directly. in 2016 evidently the company had value and in 2019 it didn't so all you can do is take a capital loss on the stock.

Do I need to file if I have no earned income? Do I need to files if I have unearned income? Can someone claim me as a dependent if I have unearned income only?
