    You can always withdraw any amout up to your contributions without tax or penalty.

    ….but no, you can not take a loss on stock that is in a Roth IRA.

  2. Great Tax Info said:

    You can withdraw the Roth with no tax on any amount equal to, or less than, the original contribution amount. You can deduct the loss as unrecovered investment in an annuity (assuming that you have enough itemized deductions) under miscellaneous deductions on Schedule A. It will not be subject to The 2% limit. Please see a professional preparer. If they do not know about this way to deduct the loss, find one who does.
