  • 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.
