Day Trading & Investing
“I made money trading stocks this year, what taxes do I owe and can I reduce them?”
Stock trading gains can create several tax considerations, and the answer often depends on whether the activity was short term or long term, whether any losses were also realized, and how the trades were tracked during the year. In many cases, the treatment can also be affected by wash sale activity, dividend income, and whether the trading was done in a personal account or through a business structure. Records from the brokerage, cost basis details, and any estimated payments already made are often part of the full picture. A CPA who reads your specifics can usually tell you, in plain English, where this lands.
