nasty, yes the oct 15th deadline is coming and I don't have my 1996 taxes in yet.
they have a bunch or money but I don't know what the net sum is...
I estimated it and think I send them about $500. if I'm trader status.

hopiing that my 100 million is volume may justify this trader status and broker slips that are 1 foot high<ggggggggggg>
any negatives to claiming trader status.
Since schedule c mave have about 20,000 to 30000 of expenses if I include my trading office attached to my homw.. that will be huge negative and I can claim all this if my Schedule D has a bunch of gains. I not workied about the IRA stuff. but, the other stuff might be $500,000 gain this yr. I report that income and then can wwirtie off the schedule c negaitve of 30k????

I usually have a cpa do my taxes, but I didn't get things ready soooon enoguh this yr and this is the first yr of trader status..
nect yr I'll get this to him..I hate doing taxes with a passion.
I would rather put new brakes shoes on a car or get root canal than do taxes.

Thread..I hope I don't get a bunch of flack over revealing the details here.
Just trying to help everyone and myself too about this trader status.
