Act 60 for Day Traders: Quick Tax Check

Trading Income: Capital Gains vs. Business Income

Under Act 60, how your trading income is classified makes a big difference. Is it a capital gain, potentially taxed at 0%, or business income, taxed at 4%? For day traders, this line can be blurry. Our tool helps you understand how your trading frequency and holding periods might be interpreted by tax authorities. We provide a quick assessment of your classification risk, so you can make more informed decisions about your tax strategy. This isn't legal advice, but it is a powerful first step in understanding your obligations.

Mark-to-Market Election: Yes or No?

The mark-to-market (MTM) election is a big decision for any trader. It can simplify your accounting, but it also means giving up the potential for 0% tax on long-term capital gains. Is it the right move for you? Our quick check helps you weigh the pros and cons. By analyzing your trading style, we can provide insights into whether the MTM election aligns with your financial goals. This fast, no-nonsense analysis is designed to give you the information you need to have a more productive conversation with your tax advisor.
