Yeah...mtm for several years now. Just cannot figure out the E*trade deferred loss and I f I get to take the deferred loss plus the short term loss or if the short term is the actual loss...E*trade is very confusing in this point. My old 1099s showed the deferred loss as wash sale losses which...

Can someone help me understand how loss reporting works with etrade? I trade through an LLC and last year through a small amount of very bad trades took a loss. My problem is that etrade shows a total short term gain of negative 53K with a deferred loss of 129K on the taxable losses screen. I...

If I have/had no open positions at the end of the year does MTM benefit me in any way? From what I am reading it only deals with positions that are open at the end of the year...so if I sell out of my positions almost daily or weekly how would it help? Am I misunderstanding something...

Wondering if there is a way to take advantage of the R&D tax credit for my LLC if I am building my own software. I started off building an automated system to help with my trading...if I pull parts of that system out and place them for sale on the iTunes store can I be considered for both...

What was the minimum account size needed for API access? Was it the standard 10K?
