  • kemenator: $IRS I'm wondering how long time traders are paying for their short term capital gains. Are you ignoring it until filing time (paying lump sum when you file)? Paying it, both state and federal, yourself quarterly? I appreciate any answers. TIA
  • bsnceo: @kemenator $IRS what are you asking - how to be penalty-free? If your total paid in through withholding and estimated tax payments for 2020 equals your 2019 tax, you will be penalty proof re estimated taxes. Your 2020 taxes have to be paid in full by April 15, 2021.
  • kemenator: @bsnceo $IRS Yes I'm trying to be penalty free, so I'm wondering how to be penalty free as TD Ameritrade not allowing witholding for any account that is not an IRA. Was I essentially supposed to pay the IRS myself throughout the 2020 year?

  • RONN: @Iceman I am not an accountant but I think you can attach your brokers 1099's to the return and manually enter the totals on the Schedule $D and Form 8949. I'll bet that it's not that simple and there are other manual entries to make. Not what you paid for and Turbo should be able to handle more than your 3000 transactions. The tax prep. gets to be more cumbersome each year. A note with my Schwab 1099 states that the $IRS published a new Form 8949 on January 14, 2014 with checkboxes that don't correspond with the instructions on the 1099. If the 1099 advises checking Box A, check Box $D etc. A corrected 1099 is not necessary. Best of luck and lets us know your ultimate solution. Ron

  • Niche: In order to respond would take a long paper -- however -- penalties will only be collected if there is a refund otherwise $IRS has no other way to collect the penalty - Second, the insurance companies involved in OBAMACARE need the signups or they will be hurting financially because they will get the sick ones - that is a given - they may not get the health ones -- which is what most economists expect.

  • kat: Do your own math... another example. There is a woman in my apartment complex that has had a lead role at local $IRS a number of years. Huh? She does not take advantage of the mortgage tax law??? Sometimes it makes sense to rent, sometimes not. Conduct your own cost/benefit analysis including your local taxes. If rates continue going up, and if local housing prices drop and stabilize, it might be time to jump in if those numbers work in your favor. For example, no personal income tax in Texas, but local property taxes vary and tend to be high... which does not include all the considerations.

Until then, I'll use the monthly interest to will pay the $IRS for all the premium income I'm generating in the option market.

  • kat: @Tim, I think what you saying is you bought the same stock twice at two values. If you bought it over a year ago, it differs with tax implications if I recall correctly. You can check the $IRS website and chose your preference. You can start with the low, the higher, or average it based on the total invested divided by the number of shares.... entirely up to you how you want to see and account for it. Some brokerage accounts have a set way of portraying it, generally with an average with your brokerage fee.... if you like that brokerage and plan to stick with it, you might want to go with their approach. You might want to receive some other people's perspectives as well, however, as long at you are making a profit you are doing well. Congratulations! Make your bank account and Uncle Sam proud! ;) ~k:)
  • mradams0621: Priceless- @Ranger @Ray- any day you get an answer to prayer, and the results are the very thing you were praying for is a good day. Thanks for your uplifting news. I stayed up way to late last night watching CSPAN -the persecution of an $IRS Auditor by political hacks who were trying to obstruct the search for the truth regarding the $IRS scandal. It was so depressing. So obvious was the lack of integrity among our political leaders. Only protecting their own ideology mattered to them. Truth be damned. Their eagerness to wield their political power to discredit the witness with total disregard for any semblance of common sense or reasonable behavior was sickening and depressive. Your good news helped balance the scales. I needed it. Thanks and best wishes for a full and complete recovery.
  • dave11: $WIN Dividends, I recived the message below today about 2012 dividends. This is a copy/paste from Fidelity. Seems a little strange to be getting this several months after April 15. "Windstream Corp. announced that they reclassified dividends previously paid in 2012. Previously, dividends paid by Windstream Corp. were classified as 100% qualified dividends. Under the reclassification, 66.417% of Windstream Corp. dividends paid in 2012 will be treated as return of capital. As an impacted customer, you will receive a corrected $IRS 1099-DIV form, which Fidelity will send out after July 16, 2013. Please contact your tax advisor for specific tax questions. Next Step If you have other questions regarding this reclassification, contact Windstream's shareholder services representative, Okapi Partners, by calling (877) 259-6290 or sending an email to Windstream@okapipartners.com."
  • bigbartabs: #Options, Selling Puts article... @Iceman... a couple of questions... first, are there any $IRS "hard" restrictions on selling calls and puts in an IRA? I get the impression the answer is no, since I've seen discussed here and in OMM several times ...
  • Iceman: Option Trades, IRA rules @bigbartabs - The $IRS rules are interpreted differently by diferent brokers. Most brokers allow virtually any type of option trading that would not require an unplanned deposit of funds into the IRA. 1. Buying stock and selling covered calls = OK 2. Selling Cash backed Puts = OK for most brokers (risks are actually the same as #1) 3. Buying any type of #options = OK 4. Debit Spreads = OK 5. Credit Spreads - depends on the broker. I can discuss more in depth if you need to. I like TDAmeritrade/TOS the best for option based IRA accounts but others here will likely add to that list.

  • mradams0621: $FREE CHART- Required compliance with new FCC rule that went into effect today. No more fee videos allowed unless provided by the administration. All others must charge a reasonable and proper fee, as defined by the 987 page documentation in the Dud Fruit Rule, which requires a portion to be collected by the $IRS for implementation of the Not Affordable Health Care Act. An exception if allowed by the official enforcement department may allow you to insert a $20. bill directly into Drive $B, and the fee's will be recorded and applied to your account. Although this conveniently designed option does require a direct hook up from your computer to the Utah Data Storage Facility, you may be assured that the information will never be looked at by anyone for any reason, at least at this time. Sorry for any inconvenience's this may create. Have a lovely day.

  • JeffTx1957: @bigbartabs.....I believe you actually can hold real estate in a tax deferred account. It would come under a "non-standard" provision. You would have to petition the $IRS and submit a letter with some additional documentation. I've know a few business owners that did this with their businesses. The first issue that comes to mind is the Pub 990 & 980 (I think those are the right ones). That income from a partnership is subject to a $1000 cap after which it is taxed at a rate above the initial $1K. The practice is unwieldy and if scrutinized, you better have your act together. Pension funds (the large ones) do this frequently. Enough said.

  • JeffTx1957: @roadrunr I am under the firm opinion that you can only lose 100% of your money....not 500% You may have to recover by 500% to get back to your Break Even position but how do you explain to the $IRS a 500% loss? If your investment drops from $500 to 0 you are out 100% not 500%.
  • Forexpro: Re: #Options, @JeffTx1957 Hi, @JeffTx1957, If I read @Roadrunr's post correctly, his position was short calls. If, for example, with a stock at 50.00 you write a call for 1.00, and at expiry the stock is at 56.00 and still short, you're out 5.00 (since you'll be compelled to buy stock at 56.00 to cover), and, voila! 500%. The $IRS doesn't care about the percentages involved; in this case, it would simply see a short term capital loss of $500. Hope this makes sense; all the best.
  • rknight52: SDR @Stormy -- these look interesting. Are these treated as MLPs for $IRS purposes? How is the income taxed to us? Don't want any MLPs for all the $IRS paperwork hassles.
  • :
  • taylor: High Yielders, IRAs, Taxes @jververis - first of all, you can ignore any taxable events that take place in your 401k or IRA accounts. You don't report any of this to the $IRS on your return unless you make a contribution or a withdrawal. That includes dividends, capital gains, capital losses, K-1s or anything else. High yielding stocks are a good choice for IRA and other tax-free accounts because the dividends accumulate and can be re-invested without paying taxes, giving you tax-free compounding. So your account will grow fairly quickly if you stay fully invested, and you don't invest in stocks that either lower or eliminate their dividends which would stop the flow of cash and destroy the money tied up in that investment by lowering its value permanently. To avoid single stock risk, a high yield fund or $ETF might work better, with less volatility.
  • jimster: SOGOTrade uses APEX also. I had $ONE stock trade imported...but 300+ option trades did. I called and asked if there was issue or if option trades were not being imported. I was told since they are not required to be reported to the $IRS, I could enter them manually...lol...in the past this has hours...like 30. This year I spent the $5 and got an excel2txf converter...It worked awesome...Good instructions...You still have to go pull the data...but even with that I was done in less than an hour, and it accounts for wash sales if you choose to use that option...I used TT also...good luck, @jim
  • blueberryman: Tax Help - My $CPA has been filing a hard copy of my trades with the $IRS for the last 5 years.
  • gintice: #Tax Help - @beby138 - Your accountant may be telling you the truth, you can enter each transaction but why would you? The $IRS receives the same broker 1099 that you do. Your return must match these, period. There is a summary on each 1099, that is all the information that needs to be entered on your return. You can then send a copy of the 1099's with your return (or not, they already have them). I have been preparing taxes professionally for thirty years and have never, never had a problem with any of these 1099. Not hard at all. Sounds like you need a new Accountant. Good luck. gin

  • dagdog: LLCs vs High Yields - Has there been any discussion in the forum about owning LLCs instead of High Yielders considering the potential increase in #dividend taxes? I did a search and didn't find anything recent. I'm thinking about moving some of my non-IRA fixed income stocks over to some of these. Yes, a bit more hassle at year end because you need to wait for a K1 and file necessary $IRS forms but not really a big deal considering. This would include stocks like $KMP, LINE, Enbridge Energy and other Limited Partnerships. Have been wondering why these are not performing better if my logic is correct. Perhaps there is some Fiscal Cliff increase on these as well? Thanks, D.
  • hwyflier: Taxes : Think of the capital gains windfall the $IRS is collecting this year. This alone will help cut the deficit. Generate fear, force selling of long term holds.
  • grover12: $WASH SALES - How is best way - or is there one - to deal with wash sales. $IRS is enforcing the 30 day rule. For instance I buy $LVS with a tight stop and I am stopped out. I still see potential in $LVS and would like to buy it when the opportunity presents. The only solution I see is to keep the initial loss small so that if i buy $LVS or alike stock or option within the 30 day period, my buy must have the potential for a profit that will overcome the wash sale penalty. Hope this makes sense. I appreciate your help. There has to be a better way for me to handle this $IRS rule.
  • Henry: Wash sales edit I don't disagree with cain http://www.fairmark.com/capgain/wash/ws101.htm Disallowed is too strong a word, more like postponed. mradams it's not that hard at all. The biggest no-no is not to have the wash sale occur between your personal account and your IRA. If you have a loss in your personal account and buy the stock in your IRA, the loss is not ever deductible. In the eyes of the $IRS their is no difference between you IRA and your personal account. Practically, unless you are audited, I'm not so sure they would ever know. I am not an accountant and if you choose to believe that, you should consult your accountant.
  • Lou: $SSS Prod - Gainskeeper - I'm not sure as to why anyone needs to keep track of trading activity in separate software. I maintain a couple of trading accounts at Fidelity (mine and my wife's) and one at Schwab, as well as an account at Oppenheimer. All three firms firms provide on line up-to-date realized gain and loss information accessible at all times and at the end of the year a statement of all closed trades separated into short and long term profits and losses. These year end reports can be attached to $IRS 1040 Schedule $D and document precisely taxable activity for the year.

  • tnalepka1: #REITS income is not taxed by the $IRS if they pay at least 90% of their income as dividends. The share holders then do not get to use the 15% special Qualifying #dividend tax rate. I understand that they are taxed at the share holders earned income tax rate.
  • grcjr: $AAPL - remember a few items. $1B will be appealed. When finished, the lawyers will likely take a huge share (even if they are Apple corporate lawyers). The $IRS will take a huge share from both Apple and the lawyers. There will still be a lot for Apple. A couple more cases like this and we will see a dent in the national debt. ;-)

  • taylor: EEP/K-1s @ arrow - the only reason not to have this kind of stock in an IRA is the "tax advantaged" portion of the distribution? In essence, they are returning part of your capital, so that portion is not taxed. But the remainder of the distribution is not a "qualified" #dividend, so it is treated as ordinary income. My tax returns are too long and complicated already (many, many pages of #options trades) so I don't need the hassle of unnecessary K-1's to deal with at tax time. If the $IRS wants to challenge my returns on this basis, good luck to them.
  • Bdwyer66: Tax question - what is the general consensus within the forum - file as an investor or trader? I qualify easily under the $IRS guidelines for trader status but I am locked in a little bit of a battle with my accountant. Considering I am self employed to begin with I dont understand why this would be an issue. Also, does anyone have thought on the pros/cons of the situation. Learning
  • Henry: Trader tax status Do a search of that term in the forum. We have had a few major discussions on various weekends. Outside of Chicago, there doesn't seem to be a lot of accountants up to speed in this area. Also look at this website, lots of info and free videos. http://www.greencompany.com/ @Henry not a $IRS trader
  • gerodeen1: $AGNC @Scorpino Another consideration. I believe that the $IRS considers "qualified" vs. non-qualifed dividends. Usually, if you buy/sell within (I think) 60 days +/- the div ex-date, it becomes an ordinary #dividend, not qualified. Ordinary dividends are treated as ordinary income, i.e., don't get the 15% qual div rate. I'm sure you CPAs out there are cringing at my explanation, but I am pretty sure that this is the current tax treatment (or I hope so, taking $CFP exam in July, so if I got this wrong, OOPS!).

  • kaw01021: $AAPL - I don't know about $IRS complications. Can't help you there. As for buying and selling an option on the same day. Yes, that would make your account labeled a pattern day trader (executing 4 or more round trip days in a 5 day rolling business period). As for needing a margin account, I don't know. As for buying #options and stocks, you would not need a margin account, but if you want margin capabilities for reasons of extra stock buying power, or if you plan to sell to open #options (unless it is a debit spread) then you would need a margin account
  • Abaltd: $AAPL - @dreambby56, if you do 5 in a consecutive 5 day period = pattern day trader, no $IRS except all short term gains/losses.
  • jojo1480: AAPL- let me put it this way, I submitted from Fido 187 pages (double sided) of trades to the $IRS, never been questioned about it. My normal run rate is about 120 pages of trades. This year probably 50 pages, learning from @DAN and less active trading, looking for those 2-3 periods where money is to be made.

  • MissEllie: Taxes-just one more post about this. You can deduct the expenses-but where you deduct them depends on your investor/trader status, and as an investor, you may get clipped by the $AMT monster. (Article above explains in more detail). Re the investor/trader status-if you go for trader status, this should be your full time job, and the $IRS is looking for 700+ trades a year, a substantial majority of which should be short term. I posted on this in the last two years, with some case authorities. If you think you qualify, probably worth your while to see an accountant to sign off and help you make the right elections on a timely basis.
  • jan2138: #yieldhogs: GGT; more good news. $GGT declares 1st qtr. dist. of .20c, ex 3/14/12. 11.02 yield. Do not be fooled when you see dist. paid last quarter was .27c. That extra .07c paid in December 2011 was an an adjusting addition to bring the total payout for the year to the stated policy of paying out 10% of the average $NAV within a calendar year or an amount necessary to satisfy the $IRS code, whichever is greater. The previous 3 quarters were .20c payouts. This has been on a nice run and is still trading 10.84% discount to NAV.
  • scottto: #Greece - @bigbartabs - The difference between us and #Greece is that almost all Americans pay their taxes (we don't necessarily like it but we do because the $IRS will mess you up if you don't).

  • MSL: $TAX, I am a $CPA (who trades a sh1t ton as most of you do) and I have been wondering about the issues raised. Obviously, most if not all of us have 25k+ margin accounts and are pattern day traders per SEC rules. I would think that status per the S ...
  • Henry: $TAX QUESTION: This is my understanding-- and I am not an accountant either. Those things get listed on Schedule A. They are legitimate expenses, BUT they have to exceed 2% of your adjusted gross income. http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f1040sa.pdf Look at lines 23-27 Line 25 refers to 1040 line 38 that is your adjusted income. OR you told the $IRS prior to April 15 that you were going to file next year as a trader OR you have some business structure like an LLC that you use to conduct your trading. If you are interested in the these last 2 #options, poke around this site: http://greencompany.com/
  • Henry: Day Trader Status @jocoach. Edit I am having trouble watch $AAPL and thinking. If you meant day trader status under the eyes of the $IRS, that is a more complicated answer. You could search the @fourm for a recent discussion or ask after the market closes.
  • bigbartabs: Full Time Trader... @gills702... $IRS forms require each trade of each ticker. There are a couple ways to handle it... summarize all buys and sells for each ticker to one line item, with backup break outs if you get audited (saves time entering). ...
  • MissEllie: $MRO MPC Hi @Henry-the spin off was ruled a tax free 355 by the $IRS, so the basis will be allocated between the shares on the basis of relative FMV on the date of the spin. Marathon will be sending info to shareholders re the basis allocation and calculation and will also be posting it on their website.
  • DAN: ...
    Bottom line: This is the guy who cheated on his own taxes and only fessed up when he was applying for the job of overseeing the $IRS and US Budget. So apparently "shared sacrifice" doesn't really apply to him.

    When you listen to The Bernank o ...
  • debs: RIMM - @Henry, thanks so much for your feed back and the article. It is the same article I saw around tax time, as well as brushing up on my $IRS rules and pub 550. My problem is that I have been #shorting various stocks, on and off, as well as doi ...
  • wlanglois: $IRS - Many thanks for the replies yesterday on the US estate tax on citizens of other countries who foolishly buy stocks on US exchanges. ABsolutely agree that the principles taught here can be used elsewhere including here in Australia. Love the US markets though. Maybe the easiest solution is to stick with cash, small positions, #options and 59 minute trades. - That's my excuse to buy the course.
  • wlanglois: $IRS - Just been knocked for 6 by this little gem. "But if a non-U.S. person buys stocks in the U.S. (in excess of about $60,000), their estate has to pay U.S. estate taxes if they die. So no wonder people are not excited to buy U.S. stocks." I think I'm safe if I trade US in my pension fund, but maybe I need to look to other markets. I wonder can @Dan cover the FTSE or the ASX?
  • jackies: $IRS - The greatest value I get from SMM/OMM is not which particular stocks to buy/sell, but WHEN to buy/sell. Those principles can be applied to anything. I also like to write down suggestions and watch how they trade over time to see whether a particular thesis worked. This helps me gain knowledge a lot faster than just by watching my own ideas. A lot of foreign stocks are also listed on the NYSE, and we discuss them here, so you can buy/sell them in your own country exchange. Kind Regards, Jackie
  • Henry: $IRS There is another wrinkle in the US estate tax. The law provides that there is no marital deduction for property received by a surviving alien spouse (non U.S. citizen) from the deceased US citizen, spouse. That means if you kick the @bucket with a million $, and your spouse is not a US citizen, Geithner gets 350K!
  • DanielR: $TAX QUESTION--Stressed, I have struggled with this question for almost 10 years now. Originally, I had a guy input the info manually--very costly! I have discovered 2 things. First, the TurboTax home and small business software will input your trade ...
  • imortalz: $TAX Question, I have used an accountant for years. I have to submit to him the Gain Loss report and a copy of all trades Jan 1 - Dec. 31. He submits to the $IRS the Gain loss report and keeps on microfile the trades. I have never been audited by the IRS. My itemized trades are at close to 1" thick. If you get a good accountant you will not have a problem. I'm in Sarasota, $FL and I've never paid over 750.00 to have my takes done.
  • Henry: Day Trading bella As I said in my post on wash sales, "tagged as a day trader" is different than having the $IRS accept you as a trader. If fact I think it's too late, because you had to declare that on April 18th. http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p550.pdf see page 76. There is a legal/accounting firm on the web called greencompany which deals with traders if you are interested in learning more.
  • Henry: ...
    Finreg has tightened up the regs on brokers, all keep track of it, though Scottrade has no knowledge of what you do at Schwab. I don't know if the $IRS computers can ferret out a wash sale done between two different brokers. Your statement that yo ...
