Title: Taxes for traders
Click here to register.

Join noted trader tax expert Robert Green, CPA, CEO of GreenTraderTax and author of The Tax Guide for Traders, as he explains the difference between traders and investors come tax time. There are significant tax benefits to being a trader, but only if you know how to take advantage of them.

Robert has worked with thousands of traders over the years, and he knows what needs to be done for tax preparation and filing. An ordinary CPA is likely to miss out on certain deductions and nuances, but Robert won’t. And, after this course, you won’t either.

He will focus on such topics as:

* What it takes to qualify as a trader (rather than an investor)
* Various deductions traders are allowed to take, especially if they work from a home office
* The benefits/drawbacks of forming a trading entity, such as a general partnership or an LLC
* Setting up a retirement plan—a difficult thing for traders, since trading produces income that is different from “traditional” income

He will walk you through the steps necessary to receive every tax break you are entitled to. Profitable traders as well as those who lost money in the markets need this information. Tax time is stressful for everyone, but knowing all the tricks of the trade will help ease your mind.

Robert Green’s course will help you determine if you qualify for trader tax status and how to maximize your trading tax benefits. Full- or part-time traders who question their eligibility for tax benefits will not want to miss this four-part course from Robert Green. In “Trader Tax Benefits”, Mr. Green will help you determine if you qualify for trader tax benefits and if so, how to take full advantage of them. If you already trade full-time, this is truly a course you can’t afford to miss. And investors considering more active trading will learn the tax consequences of various types of trading, allowing you to make more informed decisions.

The New York Traders Expo
Date and Time: Monday Feb. 19, 2007 from 3:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. Sponsored by Active Trader magazine.
Topic: Save Taxes, Keep the IRS Off Your Back, and Learn How to Form Your Own Trading Company and/or Hedge Fund.
Speakers: Robert A. Green, CPA.
Click here for this session. Click here to register for the Traders Expo.

You'll learn important tax-savings strategies in connection with trader tax status and mark-to-market accounting, plus we'll show you how to avoid wash-sale losses and capital-loss limitations. Losing traders will learn how to convert non-deductible capital losses into immediate tax refunds, while profitable traders will learn how to safely deduct all business expenses without having to form an entity. However, a trading entity is sometimes a good idea, as it allows you to deduct health-insurance premiums, retirement-plan contributions and other fringe-benefit plans. This session will cover these plans and the formation of trader entities. Learn how to get huge tax refunds from net operating losses (NOLs) and how to lower your tax rates by trading commodities, futures, and currencies instead of securities. We'll show you how to avoid IRS exams and, if examined, how to win before the auditor even gets started. We'll talk about the differences between retail and proprietary trading and help you decide which is best for you. McGraw-Hill published "The Tax Guide for Traders" by Robert Green, and the book got excellent reviews from the media. Listen to the author's best strategies from the book.

Finally, you'll learn how easy it is to set up and operate your own hedge fund. You can start with a low-cost incubator fund to generate an excellent performance record needed to attract investors. We will discuss all types of hedge funds, investment advisor laws, compliance, accounting, tax, and auditing of hedge funds. Come ready with your questions, as the speakers will gladly answer them during the session.

Power Point Presentation: Click here for pdf format.
Date: Friday, September 8th at 2:00pm - 3:00pm Title: Forex taxation: IRC 988 versus 1256 60/40 treatment, trader tax status, forex funds and more!

Description: The tax code is uncertain and confusing regarding forex trading taxation, and that makes tax filings difficult for forex traders. The tax problem is that some types of forex are treated as IRC 1256 contracts with lower 60/40 tax treatment, while other types of forex are treated as IRC 988 foreign currency transactions with ordinary gain or loss treatment. Furthermore, IRC 1256 and IRC 988 are dueling and conflicting tax code sections. In this workshop, Green will simplify the rules and show you how to lower your tax rates on forex gains by up to 12% by electing out of IRC 988. He also will show you how to maximize your tax refunds from forex losses. You will learn how to use important tax savings strategies in connection with trader tax status (business treatment) and how to qualify to claim that status. Business traders will learn how to deduct all business expenses safely, without having to form an entity. Since a trading entity is sometimes a good idea because it allows the deduction of health insurance premiums, retirement plan contributions, and other fringe benefit plans, this session also will cover the formation of trader entities. Learn how to get huge tax refunds from net operating losses (NOLs). We will show you how to avoid IRS exams and, if examined, how to win before the auditor even gets started. Finally, you will learn how easy it is to set up and operate your own forex hedge fund.

We are teaching a very special full day session packed with tons of valuable information. Robert Green will teach you all you need to know about trader tax and another instructor from our company will show you how to set up your own hedge fund. Whether you are new to active trading, or starting your own trading business or hedge fund, this full-day session is right for you.
