Dear Trader,

Learning the skills required to become a successful trader can take a long time and cost a lot of money.

However, if you have the right information, at the right time, you can substantially reduce your financial risk and actually put cash back in your pocket, thanks to the IRS.

The IRS will subsidize your trading business to the tune of $8,500 each year!
(Learn how in less than 45 minutes)

Everything you need to know is in Traders Accounting's new interactive, multimedia CD-Rom presentation, Trader Status and the Mark to Market Accounting Election.

Here is what you will learn:

• Exactly what Trader Status is and how to 'get' it
• Who shouldn't take Trader Status? (psst, the IRS is watching...)
• If you take Trader Status, how do you fill out your tax return?
• How do you declare income from your business if all you are doing is trading?
• Do you have to pay self-employment taxes?
• The five conditions the IRS uses to determine your filing status and what you can do about it
• Can a Swing Trader qualify as a trader?
• How many hours do you have to devote to trading in order to make it a business?
• Can you have a full-time job and still qualify as a trader?
• What you have to do on a daily basis to qualify as a trader?
• Does having long-term holdings disqualify you from trading as a business?

Once you have achieved Trader Status, what does that mean to you?

It means is that you are now a business owner, and the gates of Tax Write-off Heaven open up wide!

Here is what IRS Code Section 162 (one of the biggest tax shelters available) states:

All "ordinary and necessary" business expenses are fully tax deductible!

Let's be clear. Instead of paying for trading expenses with after-tax income, you are now paying for expenses with before-tax income. The result is that you are reducing your taxable income, dollar for dollar. The result is less taxes and more cash in your pocket. The bottom line is: extra cash flow every month!!!

Just like our trader clients, you can easily learn how to write-off between $15,000-$25,000 in legitimate, IRS approved business expenses each year. Figuring a combined state and federal tax rate of 34%, that means $5,100-$8,500 in extra cash in your pocket each year, from just extra deductions alone.

Ding...times up. The answer is $106,250. That means you would need over $100,000 invested to get a return of $8,500. Instead, learn how to run your trading as a business, and get that kind of return by simply doing what you are already doing!

Why Haven't I Heard About This Before?

Most CPAs or tax professionals do not understand trader taxation. It is a very specialized area that relies heavily on tax court cases involving traders. There is also very little guidance from the IRS on trader taxation issues. Only in Publication 550 do we get a glimse of the IRS's thoughts on traders.

Due to the lack of widespread knowledge about Trader Status issues, we have been asked to write articles for SFO magazine, Pristine View, and Futures magazine, in just the last few months. In addition, we have been invited to speak at each of the International Traders Expos in 2004, as well as with trader groups in Florida, Colorado, and California.

The knowledge you will receive in Trader Status and the Mark to Market Accounting Election is based on our experiences working with traders like yourself for over six years. Combined, the CPAs and Tax Attorneys of Traders Accounting have decades of professional experience helping small business owners maximize their tax savings, while at the same time dramatically lowering their audit risk.

Use Mark to Market Accounting and Avoid Wash Sales and Loss Carryforwards

The tax benefits of Trader Status are remarkable of themselves. But you may be shocked when you learn what Mark to Market Accounting can do for you.

Here are the two main benefits:

• You eliminate the $3,000 Capital Loss limitation. For example, if you have a $10,000 loss, and you also have $80,000 in gross W-2 income from a day job, it would reduce your taxable amount from $80,000 to $70,000. If you don't have W-2 income, you would be able to apply the loss to previously filed tax returns from profitable years, and get a guaranteed refund from the IRS within six weeks. Not bad!
  
• It eliminates the dreaded, misunderstood Wash Sale Rule. With MTM, you don't have to be concerned about buying and selling the same position over and over again, and spending way too much time on your Schedule D at the end of the year, trying to adjust your trades for wash sales.

Wow. If this sounds like it may be of benefit to you, you can learn all the details in our new CD-Rom, Trader Status and the Mark to Market Accounting Election.

Here is what you will learn:

• How do you make the Mark to Market accounting election?
• Who shouldn't make the election, and why not?
• What is Form 3115 and how do you fill it out?
• What to do if you have a large loss carryover?
• What do you do if you need to change your accounting method back?
• How do you report Mark to Market trades on your tax return?
• What do you do if you are trading both futures and securities?

There is not much to dislike about the Mark to Market Accounting election, but there are some situations where it could be distastrous to make the election. You need to fully understand Mark to Market before making the election.
