<div><em><strong>Jan R</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>I loaned a friend some money several years ago to help start a business, and the business failed and I was not repaid for the loan.  I also, the same year, had losses from other investments (in the stock market). My understanding is that I can only deduct $3000 in investment losses for that year.  Is the personal loan in the same category as the other investments &#8212; in other words, does it count as part of the $3000 limit? Or is there a way I can claim that loss separately? Thanks!<br/><br/></div>
