watchdaride, I'm not allowed to provide tax advice. That said, ALL futures are 1256 contracts and are MTM. I believe that the trader status your are referring to is for equities and options. https://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc429.html I think you would benefit from consulting with...

Why do you want to use the LLC? You should consult a tax specialist first, then if you still want an LLC, try this: https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/apply-for-an-employer-identification-number-ein-online https://www.blumberg.com/corporate_services/nationwide.html...
