Question for the stock guys

I have a particular stock fund that I would like to sell off. I bought in about a year ago, it's lost some value and I just want out. I want to cash out, I don't want to flip it into other stocks.

I have never cashed out before so not sure what the procedure is regarding taxes.

I lost money so I clearly want to avoid any taxes that there may be on the "income." How exactly does this work? Do I get to write off any losses? Can I just pull the money out and show proof that it was a loss at tax time?

Thanks in advance!
