GTT offers active traders a full trader tax solution

Barron's and CNBC address a key problem for traders and credit GTT with the best full trader tax solution.

Barron's and CNBC featured Robert A. Green, CPA in several stories highlighting a "missing tax link" between brokers and their trader clients. The missing link is that many online brokers and direct-access brokers don't currently provide sufficient tax information and tax reporting to their active trader customers. Their trader customers are lost at tax time and they end up not receiving all the tax benefits they are entitled to under the new trader tax laws.

GTT has been listening and recently entered alliances with two leading direct-access brokers to fix this "missing link" problem. GTT entered alliances with Schwab's CyberTrader and Terra Nova Trading to build and power their new Tax Centers for active traders. These direct-access brokers are also offering GTT TradeLog, our software program to import and reconcile trading transactions.

Barron's June 2, 2001 article on direct-access brokers ranked TerraNovaOnline 2nd out of a dozen direct-access brokers. One of the positive factors in the Barron's ranking was GTT's new Tax Center for Terra Nova, "Terra Nova recently rolled out a tax-information page, which will feature columns by day-trading tax experts."

The GTT full trader tax solution.

Now traders can easily import all their trading transactions directly from most online brokers and direct-access brokers into our GTT TradeLog software program. Using our GTT TradeLog online support, traders can reconcile their GTT TradeLog reports to their brokerage firm Form 1099s (tax reports). Using GTT's Education and Tax Centers, Guides and Services traders have all the help they need to learn about all the new trader tax laws and benefits, elect the best trader tax status, and file the best trader tax return possible to receive the highest amount of tax relief possible.
