My current CPA has little or no knowlege in accounting for option traders and would like to get as much deductions for my 2007 expenses as well as for future profit and loss. Who should do my books and what entity would be best? I've heard much about Traders Accounting, both good and bad, but is that all there is?

He told me I had to have a license and should trade as a hobby. Any suggestions? Thanks Robert Tue, 18 Dec 2007 09:11:09 -0500
