Bankrupted company stocks

I bought the stocks of a company in 2022 They announced bankruptcy in 2023. The company liquidated on September 2023. I didn’t sell my stocks. My broker didn’t issue an 1099 B form for this loss. They said the proceeds is Zero so they would issue a 1099B form. I am wondering if I could file this loss in my 2023 tax ? If yes,  How can I file it with TurboTax 2023 without 1099 B form?

Bankrupted company stocks

The IRS requires that the investment be totally worthless to take a write-off. that's a question of fact. The stock of some bankrupt companies still trade in a specialized market which means IRS does not consider them totally worthless. if it is, add the item to the 1099-B use type f or x  - proceeds and cost not reported to IRS. use 12/31 for disposal date and indicate worthless
