I have a client that just brought in his taxes and has about 20 pages front to back of stock trades from Ninja Trade Account. There is no 199 and when I take the proceeds from the cost basis is it different
by at least double. How do I report this?
Thank You
Arent Ninja accts used for forex and futures? thats probably why its doesnt match up.
Maybe your sophisticated trader didn't download the 1099? https://ninjatrader.com/futures/blogs/when-to-expect-1099-tax-forms/
How do I report these? Take for instance if it 250Sales and 150 Basis it should be 100 but shows 200
Are they really sales? OR are they "beats" that when I sell at this price in the future I will make money OR if I don't sell, which would cost me money I take the loss on my bet. Are you sure there is no 1099 floating around.
This give some insight to how to report. https://www.schwab.com/learn/story/trader-taxes-form-8949-section-1256-contracts
