166(d) provides that noncorporate taxpayers can claim short-term capital losses for nonbusiness bad debts.
QUALIFYING FOR BAD DEBT DEDUCTION Two conditions must be met to deduct nonbusiness bad debts.
Individual taxpayers may deduct two different types of bad debts: business bad debts, which are deductible as ordinary losses if completely or partially worthless, and nonbusiness bad debts, which are short-term capital losses taken only when entirely worthless.
