My wife had some ESPP stocks from first republic bank, which are now not worth anything. How do I claim deduction for capital losss?

You can enter that as a loss on Schedule D

 

In TurboTax go to

Wages & Income

Investment Income

Stocks, Crypto, Mutual Funds, Bonds, Other   START or UPDATE

 

Select “Stocks, Bonds, Mutual Funds (1099-B)”

Skip Import, Select I'll type it in myself and enter Bank or Brokerage and CONTINUE

Select No for Employee Stock (You won't need this option)

Select No (1-3) for More than three sales

Select Yes for “Other types of investments”

Select Yes for “Did you buy every investment?” and CONTINUE

Select One-by-one for “Now, choose how to enter your sales” and CONTINUE

For the Sales section drop-down choose “Short-term or Long-term did not receive 1099-B”

For Type of investment, Select Stock (non-employee) (You don't need the Employee Stock Option)

Enter Description, Dates, Sale Proceeds, and Basis (your basis is the strike price plus any discount that was included as income, but there might be no discount)   and CONTINUE

Select “This was a small business stock” and “This was a worthless security” for the “Let us know if any of these situations apply to this sale”, screen and CONTINUE

Select “I don’t want to make any changes to my cost basis right now” and CONTINUE

Select "None of these apply" on the "What kind of small business stock did you sell?" screen

 

The loss will be on Schedule D and carry to your 1040 line 7.
