Call your broker and ask them what procedure they have in place to write off dead stocks. That's the first place you should start.

If they can't help you, call around to different brokers and ask if they are willing to trade SYNJ. Open a minimal account there, transfer the stock, sell it, then close the account (or keep it if you want, having multiple trading accounts isn't really a bad thing).

Your accountant will then need your account statement showing your purchase date and price, then the statement with the sell date and price. They can take care of the capital loss filings from there.

I am not a CPA or accountant, this is just my best guess suggestion and the logical approach I would take.
