Tai Jin:

I believe that the tax treatment on dividends you pay on your short holdings go to increase the tax basis of your re-purchase.

Something like that. It is written in one IRS document or the other. I am pretty sure you do not deduct it as an investment expense, nor do you net your positive and negative dividends.

I would recommend asking Colin Cody on one of the tax threads at SI or querying TurboTax.

Peter
