actually, Yes. If you kick a FG, and it is good, and there is a penalty on the defense that would result in a first down, you can elect to have the field goal taken off the board, and take the first down, and try to get the TD.
Other than that, the only way you can lose points is if the play is challenged and overturned.

No. All cases of calls reversed on a challenge or penalties that result in a play called back, including first-down yardage plays occuring on a field goal try, aren't actually losses of points earned. In the case of a challenge, the revised ruling stands as the official call, meaning that the points originally awarded never happened. A play called back by penalty is similar, in that the yards gained and points scored are not recorded: the result of the play was a penalty.

Nope, you can't lose points. If you score and they give you the points and the other team felt it was wrongfully given, they could challenge the refs decision and if video review shows that it was a bad call, the points would taken back away.

No. Not unless the scoring play is overturned by the officials as the result of a challenge by the opposing team's coach. And the challenge has to come right after the score, not later.

Points can be taken off the score board if a scoring play is overturned by re-play, however you cannot get negative points

no, unless a play is reversed on a challenge or on a flag. if a team makes a touchdown and they add the points but then the other team challenges the touchdown(if they think it wasnt a touchdown) and they win the challenge the play will be reversed and they will take the points back off.

no but if you fail,to kick the ball over the goal post you can only get 6 points instead of the 7 points.

Only if a scoring play is overturned by a challenge. Other than that, no.

you might if a player scored points, but the ref says it broke a rule then those points could be taken away.
