Your IRA year end statement form the financial institution should reflect the year end value of that IRA account.

Investments in self-directed IRAs becoming worthless seems to be a relatively common occurrence. The IRA custodian will continue to report the original value until they accept an independent appraisal of the asset to change that value.
