I'm genuinely sorry, but that's also one of the best posts I've seen here.
Thx man, i appreciate it, and i appreciate your posts to this thread.
I wasnt going to bother explaining this but now ive been asked a half a dozen times how this happened, and all i can say is this. I was destroying the market back then, i was making more than that every single month, i kept having accountants who looked at my tax bills and saying:
"I cant believe you are only writing off like 12 thousand dollars."
The thing is as a trader we can only really write off our internet part of our heat and water etc..... and you shouldnt write off your house, because then it fucks you on the taxes at the end, you cant write off your car, you cant write off much of anything as a stay at home trader, so when i came in with 300k of income, and 12k of writeoffs, they tried to figure out how to do a "reach around"
Needless to say it didnt work, i hope i dont get anything beyond this year, because if they want to be ignorant cunts im sure they could find more.
I played it straight up until this point, but then the accountants got more creative with shit, and most of it was probably borderline, i should have just paid the fucking bill while i had the money, im just super pissed at my own idiocy.
That led accountants to getting cute, and it let me to getting cute, and it ended up HERE, since there is no way an accountant can get cute, and I KNOW im sure as fuck not cute, i probably shouldnt have tried to act cute.
This was a bad proposition, i probably deserved this, but i sure as hell didnt deserve it 6 YEARS AFTER THE FACT.
What im more scared of than anything is what comes next, if they start ripping me up year after year they can bankrupt me.
I wont say exactly what happened here because it risks exposing other traders who i value dearly.
All i will say is that as traders we have very few write offs, dont let some podunk idiot named "Hodor" tell you how he can save you money on taxes, this would have been 1 month back when it happened, probably way less, there was no reason for it to end up here, its on me, i take responsibility.
