A security (stock or bond) that becomes worthless during the tax year is treated as if it had been sold on the last day of the tax year. If it is a capital asset, the resulting loss is usually a capital loss that is subject to various limits.

Capital losses first offset capital gains (both long term and short term) including the capital gain distributions from various mutual funds. And, if that does not use all of the losses, then $3,000 can be a deduction on page 1 of form 1040 (U.S. Individual Income Tax Return) with the excess carried over to future years.
