    Just calling yourself a day trader DOES NOT make you one according to the IRS rules that you will find enclosed below.

    Your best place to start and to get the correct information will be by using the www.irs.gov website and use the search box for Topic 429 Traders in Securities (Information for Form 1040 Filers)

    This tax topic explains whether an individual who buys and sells securities qualifies as a "trader in securities," for tax purposes and how traders must report the income and expenses resulting from the trading business..

    Traders

    Special rules apply if you are a trader in securities, in the business of buying and selling securities for your own account. To be engaged in business as a trader in securities, you must meet all of the following conditions:

    Traders report their business expenses on Form 1040, Schedule C (PDF), Profit or Loss From Business. The limit on investment interest expense, which applies to investors, does not apply to interest paid or incurred in a trading business. Commissions and other costs of acquiring or disposing of securities are not deductible but must be used to figure gain or loss upon disposition of the securities. Gains and losses from selling securities from being a trader are not subject to self-employment tax.

    The tax treatment of sales of securities held in connection with a trading business depends on whether a trader has previously made an election under section 475(f) to use the mark-to-market method of accounting. If the mark-to-market election was not made, then the gains and losses from sales of securities are treated as capital gains and losses that must be reported on Form 1040, Schedule D (PDF). Both the limitations on capital losses and the wash sale rules continue to apply. However, if the mark-to-market election was timely made, then the gains and losses from sales of securities are treated as ordinary gains and losses (except for securities held for investment - see above) that must be reported on Part II of Form 4797 (PDF), Sales of Business Property. Further, neither the limitations on capital losses nor the wash sale rules apply to traders using the mark-to-market method of accounting.

    In general, the mark-to-market election must be made by the due date (not including extensions) of the tax return for the year prior to the year for which the election becomes effective. The election is made by attaching a statement either to your income tax return or to a request for an extension of time to file your return. The statement should include the following information:

    1. That you are making an election under section 475(f) of the Internal Revenue Code;

    2. The first tax year for which the election is effective; and

    3. The trade or business for which you are making the election.

    Refer to the Form 1040, Schedule D Instructions for further instructions on how to make the mark to market election.

    After making the election to change to the mark-to-market method of accounting, you must change your method of accounting for securities under Revenue Procedures 2008-52 and 2009-39. In addition to making the election, you will also be required to file a Form 3115 (PDF), Application for Change in Accounting Method. The procedures for making an election are described in Publication 550 under the section called "Special Rules for Traders in Securities", and FAQs on our Web site.

    If you have made a valid election under section 475(f), the only way to stop using mark-to-market accounting for securities is to request and receive written permission from the Service to revoke the election. Non-filing of the Form 3115 mentioned above will not invalidate a timely and valid election. To request permission to revoke your election under section 475(f), you must file a second Form 3115 and pay a fee.

    Use the search box for Publication 550 and the go to chapter 4. Sales and Trades of Investment Property
