1. can options commissions be deducted from gains. i do lot of short options but i am not seeing commission fee of $0.65 added to cost basis in 1099. can i deduct those commissions i paid to brokerage ?. i repeat its short option and not long options. for long options $0.65 is added to cost basis which i understand.
2. can i also deduct SEC fee paid during options transactions.
