Ponzi Scheme Losses, Unrecovered Balance, Final K-1, Tax Deduction

On our TY 2009 return we deducted a $90,000 loss on a $120,000 loss from a Ponzi Scheme.  This was the Phoenix AZ, Scott Coles, Mortgages Limited, Ponzi Scheme ending in the notorious Tuxedo Suicide. The amount was based on the 75% deduction, since we joined a lawsuit to attempt to recover some of our losses. Over the years we recovered $5000 that was included and taxed on our Federal Income Tax Returns. We may be getting a final K-1 for TY 2024, as all recovery avenues have been exhausted.  Can I deduct the remaining $30,000 + $5000 that was previously taxed for a total $35,000 tax deduction assuming I get a final K-1. If so then, where to I report these amounts?
