I have some earnings from trading in options on stocks in the share market. My broker has informed me that no form 1099 is issued in respect of earnings from options trading. That being so, how does the IRS know what earnings an options trader had in a given year?
The IRS will not know from the brokerage firms reporting what profit you have earned from trading options.
However is subsuquent years they might uncover your brokerage account statements and discover the under reporting there.
A reminder you can deduct trading and financial advisory expense in certian cases. ( this expenses might offset your trading profits). Check with your tax advisor

What are the options if you pass the chemistry class but failed the NY regents?
I failed the chemistry regents and I heard from a senior that if you pass the class, you don’t have to take the regents. Is that true? What diploma would you get? Is it better for me to take the regents over again? Are there any other ways to gain back a advanced regents diploma since I failed the chemistry regents?
Only serious answers please.
That’s not true at all. Seniors don’t have to take the regents. However if you failed, you need to take it in august.

The best estimates are around 75% of all stock option contracts.

A quick search on "stock options" shows that many companies are switching from "stock options" to "restricted stocks" as an employee compansation vechicle.
Below is what I learned from my research. It could be wrong though.
The sales of "stock options" are usually reported as loss. It reduces the company’s tax liability, but also adversely affects the company’s profit. From 2006, most companies are required to disclose the impact of the "stock options" sales to the public.
My questions,
When a company issues "restricted stocks" and the employee sells them, is the proceeding counted as "loss" like "stock options"?
Why companies don’t switch until recently? Does it have anything do to with the new SEC reporting requirement?
Thanks,
A stock option gives the employee the option to purchase shares ofthe stock from the company at a predetermined price.
Restricted stock are shares of the company that have restrictions placed on them (usually when they can be sold).
Companies have switched because starting this year they are required to treat options as an expense. up until this year companies did not have to report options and so they had no effect on earnings. Now, they are treated as an expense, the company has to purchase the shares in order to give sell them to the employee. As options are only excersized if the current pprice is higher than the buy price, this automatically results in a loss for the company.
Restricted shares are new shares that are issued by the company and therefore do not cost them anything.
I’m kind of unclear about that. options supposedly give you the right to buy an asset at a set price, while an owner of a future’s contract is obligated to buy or sell. So basically if you have an option it does not seem that you have to buy. So if you don’t have to buy or sell, then why is it that 80% of all option traders lose money?
Most option contracts written are what are called out of the money options. That is the price of the security is say $30. The option is written to buy at $32, for 3 months. If the price does not rise to $32 plus the price of the option then it looses money. Even if it is written in the money it is written at a healthy premium, so it still may loose money.
I have made a decent amount of money on Full Tilt without ever depositing anything (I won three freerolls, $15 top prize) I would like to withdraw the money, but the only options available for withdrawal are like click2pay which isn’t available for U.S. citizens and instant e checks which i know nothing about and don’t trust. I’ve heard there is no way to withdraw directly to your checking account (using visa) so I really don’t know what my options are. Any ideas?
Well, first off if you only won $45 than you can’t even withdrawal, the minimum is $100. Also if you never deposited the only way you can withdrawal is by check. Echecks is completely safe and reliable and is the only way for U.S. players to withdrawal directly into their bank accounts but you have to make a successful deposit with them before you can withdrawal with it. If I were you I’d just keep the $45 in there and play till you hit the $100 and withdrawal by check, it usually takes less than a week. If you need anything else check out the site below and good job in the freerolls.
