Tax Software for FOREX Traders?

Ccl471 asked:


You know how there’s tax software for small business owners? It keeps track of every sale in your retail store and then come tax season, you just have to print out the paperwork you need to bring in to your accountant.

Is there any software that a FOREX trader could use that could take the hassle out of keeping records of every trade the investor makes and then come tax time all you have to do is just print out the paperwork you need to bring to your accountant?

Many thanks,
C.L.

    You could leave forex to the pros and would probably be happier in the long run.

    Hi,

    Here’s a good article about taxes with some valuable links in it.

    “Currency trading is a hot commodity in the market place, but not all currency contracts are taxed like commodities. Cash forex is subject to IRC section 988 rules and if you’re a trader, you can elect out of IRC 988, to be taxed like commodities – with beneficial 60/40 treatment. Before you start trading cash forex, find out if you brokerage firm will help you with trade accounting. ”
