i don't intend to seek trader status

will abide by Wash Sale rules and just put all cap gains on a Schedule D and forget about any writeoffs - having stated this i then understand that you are both of the opinion that SS and Medicare taxes WOULD NOT be applicable even though 100% of my income were made in this manner

as i originally posted - i've heard conflicting opinions but i suspect that those who pay the SS taxes must have Traders Status and its associated benefits. if one does not seek trader status and forgos its benefits then Schedule D is sufficient and SS/Medicare taxes aren't a consideration.

thanks much to both of you
