Can I clam a loss on a surrendered life insurance annuity?

I surrendered a perm life insurance annuity a couple years in. I ended up with a loss (Total premiums paid - cash value at time of surrender was negative). Is this deductible? Where do I enter it? The company did not provide a 1099-R because I had no gain.

No. This could have been claimed on Schedule A had the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 not suspended through 2025 miscellaneous deductions subject to the 2%-of-AGI floor.
