Trading Through A Separate Entity

Recorded Nov. 14, 2012

Trading in an entity looks better to the IRS than a Schedule C for a sole proprietor trader. Green recommends pass-through entities like LLCs, partnerships and S-Corps. (Postscript: Starting in 2014, we prefer S-Corps paying a salary to the owner due to IRS changes in connection with the Net Investment Tax. Entities must also file Form 8949 now.)
