<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>I have been daytrading since August 1998 and
based on my fairly exhaustive research I meet the criteria for filing as a
trader. As many of you know, this can have enormous benefits (in a
nutshell - exemption from wash sale rule, personal and business deductions, yet
no estimated income tax or social security requirement).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>I have experienced an unbelievable amount of
frustration trying to find a tax specialist / CPA locally (Seattle, WA area) who
is knowledgeable about AND HAS DEALT WITH trader-related tax issues - someone
who has heard of Section 475 of the tax code and has filed returns (including
Schedule C) on behalf of daytraders/position traders. I have been in
contact with the venerable Ted Tesser of Boca Raton, FL, but he appears to have
his plate full. At this stage I am seeking anyone (local or not) who can
provide me with the benefit of pre-existing expertise in this specific area of
tax.... what I will not do is consent to having a CPA get an education at my
expense.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Are any of you filing as a trader for 1998 (or did you do so
in years prior) any have you found a tax professional who genuinely helped
you? If not, do you know someone who MAY meet the above description?
Have you filed as a trader on your own in years past, and if so, what problem
areas should I be aware of? Again, I have accumulated a good amount of
knowledge about what I need to file, what I can legitimately deduct, etc. but I
do not have the time or patience to fish through all appropriate areas of the
tax code to make sure all is hunky-dory.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I want to get my 1998 taxes out of the way as soon as
possible. Thanks in advance for any advice, leads, or references you may
be able to provide.</FONT></DIV>
