Entity Tax Consultation

Conducting your trading business in an entity unlocks several additional tax benefits.

If you are interested in an entity for your trading activity, consider an Entity Tax Consultation.

First, start with a 50-minute consultation to determine if you are eligible for trader tax status and if you benefit from our entity solutions.

Our entity tax strategies require eligibility for trader tax status (TTS). With TTS, an individual or entity can deduct business, start-up, organization, and home office expenses. An S-Corp is necessary for a TTS trader to arrange the owners’ health and retirement plan deductions. LLC/partnerships or S-Corps help ring-fence trading positions vs. overlapping investments. The SALT cap workaround strategy allows pass-through entities (partnerships and S-Corps) to save taxes. Read more on our Entity Solutions page in our Tax Center.
