It only becomes an actual tax consequence if you sell it, making it a realized loss. If you continue to hold onto the losing stock into the new tax year, it means nothing for your taxes.

If you sell, you should receive a 1099-B form with loses and gains.

Your income tax bracket matters. If you are in the 10 or 15% tax bracket, you are not liable for any taxes on capital gains.
