Taxes and Eminis

Discussion in 'Index Futures' started by Robertwiz, Feb 23, 2014.

  1. Hello,

    To anyone who has experience in this matter:

    A. How do I record my emini total profits or loss for the year on 6781, Schedule D, and 1040?

    B. How are index futures like TF and ES taxed? Are they taxed differently then Grain and narrow based index futures?

    Thanks
