Robert's Articles

Day and swing traders inevitably trigger many wash sale loss adjustments (WS) amounting to tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. Take a loss on a security, repurchase it within 30 days (after or before), and that creates a WS loss, states Robert Green of GreenTraderTax.com.
Traders have unique needs and opportunities in tax planning. Get organized well before the year-end so you don’t miss out, states Robert Green of GreenTraderTax.com.
Traders eligible for trader tax status (TTS) use an S-Corp to unlock health, retirement and SALT deductions. It’s important to act before year-end using payroll, states Robert Green of GreenTraderTax.com.

Join Robert A. Green, CPA, of GreenTraderTax.com, as he explains the tax advantages of using trader tax status (TTS), including:

  • How can active traders qualify for TTS?
  • How to use TTS to deduct business, startup, organization, and home office expenses.
  • Understand how TTS traders can strategically elect Section 475 MTM accounting, which exempts securities trades from wash sale loss adjustments, navigates around the $3,000 capital loss limitation, and unlocks a qualified business income (QBI) deduction on trading gains.
  • Profitable TTS traders might achieve additional tax benefits by using an entity like an LLC, which is taxed as an S-Corp for employee benefits, or a partnership for the SALT cap workaround.
