Lets get to the specifics!!

At Barrys Accounting Services Corp., we have helped many traders file Simple and Complex tax returns for many years. A change in their tax bracket has drastically reduced their tax liability (Marginal & Effective Tax Rate). Hence, you are in Capable Hands with us.

According to the Tax Code, Traders are classified into TWO categories:-

#1) Investors and  Hobby Traders (or part-time traders):- According to the IRS rules, they must pay Capital gains tax on profits; and they can only deduct a Maximum net loss of $3,000 per year. Excess loss is carryover and deducted in future years.

#2) Full-time traders :- According to IRS rules, you are qualify as a Full-Time Trader if you derive and depend on making your living from the profit on Short-Term sales of stocks for your trading account.

a)Dealers in Securities(IRC-1236) and Full-time traders must file a TIMELY application with the IRS and ELECT the Mark-to-Market election(IRC-475(f).

ALL Gains & Losses are treated as Ordinary gains & Losses(IRC-165(c)(1); Wash Sales (IRC-1091); Depreciation (IRC-167); Bonus Depreciation (IRC-179) and Amortization(IRC-197) are also fully deductible.

#1)Question:-"I was defrauded in a ponzi scheme. I gave a broker $10,000 to invest in stocks and I loss everything. Can I claim this loss on my tax return?"

Answer:-You can receive a tax deduction if you receive a Form 1099 from the investment company or Broker.You can also get a tax deduction if a broker defrauded you and others and the crime and your loss are documented by an Attorney in a Class Action Lawsuit, or the crime is documented by the SIPC, FBI and SEC. Please Send/Bring us your proof

 

#2)Question:- "I am a Full-time Trader. I have already made the Mark-to-Market election and filed the required forms with the IRS. I am looking for a stable Tax-Accountant to prepare my taxes every year. Would your company be able to prepare my Federal & State tax returns this year and in future years?

Answer:- Yes! we will prepare and e-file a complete Federal & State Tax return for you; and we will send you a copy plus ALL the documents you send us via the Post Office(USPS). Send us a copy of the last Tax Return that you filed including your trading documents; and other tax deductible documents. Our clients send us their Tax and Trading documents  by FedX., UPS., DHL., and the Post Office(USPS). We give our Trade clients up to $30 credit for postage/mailing; and we pay to return ALL the documents they sent us and a copy of the tax return that we prepared for them. Hence, they have NOTHING to lose.

 

#3)Question:- I buy and sell stocks throughout the year. I would like to elect the Mark-to-Market election for full-time traders. Can your company help me make the elcetion?

Answer:- You are responsible for preparing and filing the "Mark-to-market" election  form with the IRS. However, we can prepare and e-file your Federal and State Tax Returns with the IRS and State.  You can call the IRS at (800) 829-3676 and (800) 829-1040, from 7:30am Eastern Standard Time. 

 

#4)Question: - "I am working for a hedge fund company. I am part of a 4-man team there and I am paid as an independent contractor. I would like to form my own Corporation or LLC while I continue working for this company. I would like to organize it so that it does not resemble a sham. Please advise if this is something you can help me with. Thanks.

Answer:- You are presently an Independent Contractor. Therefore, get a name for your business and set up your Business Trading Entity as a Sole-proprietorship,  LLC, or C-Corporation. Call Legal Zoom (855)787-1221 and (833)799-4891 for help with setting-up and getting the Federal ID Number (EIN) from the IRS. Most importantly, ask other Traders whom you know, what businiess entity they are operating under (Sole-Proprietorship, LLC, C-Corp, etc). Their feedback will certainly boost your confidence that you are on the right track. FINALLY, use the details that I mentioned above for Full-Time Traders.
