"Invest tools" traders' short-term profits, by default, are being taxed at the highest allowable incremental individual IRS income tax rates.

What to do?

When you are able to qualify yourself to take a tax position of "Trader Status" and also, when appropriate, make a "Mark-to-Market" accounting method election then you can file your tax returns just like other taxpayers all over the country who have lowered their federal income taxes by thousands of dollars every year.

Most traders who do qualify themselves can save more in taxes each year than all the fees ever paid for the Investools system, along with all of their computer equipment, office furniture, supplies, business entertainment, etc.

There are tax planning methods to help active traders like yourself, (legitimately) eliminate problems with expensive tax rules, wash sales, net operating losses, and even allowing a full deduction of the Investools seminar fees which otherwise might not be deductible on your tax return
(see IRS Code Section 274(h)(7)).

 

"Trader Status" is also recognized by most States and can lower those taxes as well.


Form your trading entity now, before using any money that otherwise might not be deductible http://www.traderstatus.com/tradingentity.htm
