This is going to depend on the exact situation of the amendment. Firstly, a non-business bad debt is not deductible for income tax purposes. The second item, you list is a worthless security, which is deductible but limited to the offset of your capital gains and a limited amount of deduction above this amount. The security must be a publicly traded security in order to take a loss on the security. In order to claim a refund on any amended individual return, you have the current year plus two prior years if they are filed within two years of the original due date. For instance, say you neglected to file an allowable loss on your 2015 tax return. You would have two years from April 15th of 2016 to file an amendment or two years from October 15th of 2016 if you had filed a timely extension request for that tax year.

Non-business bad debts are deductible as short-term capital losses. For US taxation anyway.
