the first person i would speak to is your tax accountant,make a appointment asap,it is tax deductible,tell him/her your situation and the loss you are sitting on,and he would advise you on what this would mean for your earnings/tax position for the year,his/her advice maybe of benefit to you,please note that everyones taxation situation is completely different and no two persons is alike.
