    I will be filing as a "Trader in Securities" for the first time this year and as a result I can use the Schedule C to deduct expenses.

    But on Schedule C you need to enter a code describing your professional business activity. There isn't an exact description for a Trader, the best I could find was #523900 - "Other financial investment activity."

    Anyone know what number I should use? Or should I just use #999999, which is the "unclassified" option.
     
  2. My tax accountant puts #523900 for me.

    My accountant used #523900 on Schedule C.
    He specializes in traders, tax prep.
