When he was elected, I assumed it was largely because of Trumps 'reality' show Apprentice. (It wasn't at all real...but that's another story.) He had massive network TV exposure that promoted him as being a good organizational manager. (He wasn't at all, but again, that's another story.) And...

Those of us of a certain age, who knew of Trump's career in the 70s/80s, are not at all surprised at his call to the Georgia election authorities. I listed to it all, and it is disgusting. But it is perfectly in keeping with who he is, and has always been. I didn't hear 'desperation.' I...

15 years with this company, and they can't answer the phone or online chat. This is a 22 BILLION dollar company, and they can't add customer service reps? Absolutely no excuse.

If you filed as an LLC last year and didn't hear of any issues with the IRS - and you continued active trading this year - I don't see why your status would have changed. If you suffered losses, you will certainly benefit from filing the LLC versus a personal return. Contact GreenTraderTax and...
