here..study this page(and other info on this site). you don't have to pay for it.educate yourself http://www.traderstatus.com/responsibilities.htm http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/rr-99-7.pdf
You are right I am not as knowledgable about taxes for my situation as I should be...consequences of working 60 hours plus a week at my normal job. I haven't done any of the things he recommended - no car leases no renovations...I just created the llc funded an account and made trades... I am going to seek out another opinion - maybe tax attorney at this point..
Thanks for the reply. I may be close to the reqs you mentioned but I did not exceed the 1000 trades. Maybe I will go for trader status in 2014...like I said...last thing I need or want is tax trouble...
