Sir, I wonder if you could provide some guidance. Do you know if you can use an S-Corp to defer paying tax on trading gains until the moneys are distributed to the owner(s)? Thanks, Dave

Colin: You're the expert I'm not. But a trade or business implies that I am advertising my self as a business, deducting the expenses and losses to reduce taxes and living off the income. None of which I'm doing. As you well know this is a deferred account and the IRS will get their money sooner or later. In fact they get more this way. I have a right to buy and sell property(assets), within and without an IRA and a right to make a gain or loss. That's the purpose of retirement plans, to make money for the future. I don't believe there is a specific number in the code for buying and selling so it's all subjective and argumentative. As a side note. I've been doing this for 5+ years and I was 22 days away from tax court when an appeals officer called and said he found nothing wrong with my return, if fact I was owed $200. I declined the $200 and requested my return be accepted as entered. Again, I'm not arguing with you because you have the credentials I don't. Maybe I was lucky who knows? Dominick
