Call your broker--they will most likely "buy" them from you as a worthless security (the sale price will be either 0 or a penny or some nominal price)---this will give you a trade date and you can declare the loss this year with no hassles....

simply declaring the security worthless is a bit more involved--so talk to your broker....
