    yes. APi is there,it's free and it's very easy to use. even if you have very basic programming skills. as for storing the data-that's could be very complicated,could be easy. depends on what are you looking for. it starts from the fact that IB is using snapshot data,not pure stream. then-there...

    IB Tax Info Availability - 2014

    I've used both tax cut and turbo tax in the past. Imo tax cut is easier to use. If you file in one line- shouldn't make any difference. Same as if enter every trade, because both programs are useless in both options. If you file in one line-if I remember-you can't enter number greater than...
