GEN:Tax Status

["TC & Mark" <mseflin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'd like to hear from any floor trader (local), not brokage trader,
as to what filing status do you use when doing your fed taxes. It
would seem to me that you should be considered "self employed" and be
entitled to regular business deduction. Being someone who is trading
off-floor, I'm surmissing that the difference between a local and a
off-floor trader is mainly location and the cost of doing business,
but, then again I could be wrong.

Thanks,

Mark Seflin ;-)
