2009 GTT Guide: 2008 Tax Return Examples for Commodities, Futures & Forex/Currency Traders (Individual and Entities)

If you traded commodities, futures, and/ or forex as a business, as an individual or an entity, you should learn the special tax rules for commodities, futures and forex and how to file a correct income tax return – one that takes advantage of trader tax status.

The tax rules for futures and forex are very complex and highly nuanced and we wrote the book on the best tax treatment for traders. See our latest tax treatment articles on our SFO page and forex tax page. This examples guide gives you concrete examples of our latest tax treatment articles.

We provide examples of complete federal and state tax returns for many types of traders and investors. You should find the sample federal and state tax return that matches your situation, and this will take the guesswork out of this year's tax preparation. This is the closest you can come to having GTT CPAs prepare your federal and state income tax returns. Of course, if you have questions after using our guides, you can sign up for a consultation and/or our preparation services.

GTT's tax return examples guides are best used as companion guides to Robert A. Green's book “The Tax Guide for Traders." They are also very useful on a stand-alone basis. The GTT Gold Package is an excellent value; it includes the hardcover book and all GTT guides.
