Appreciate the info. One "override" was TTAX denied my being able to deduct "Business Use of Home" because I had no Schedule "C" profits. However as I recall you can also "add" Schedule "D" capital gains when determining whether you have enough income to qualify for the "business use of home" deduction. It is a gray area as I am a "day trader" rather than an "investor". Technically as a day trader I don't have to pay self-employment tax, so in a way I am not a business but from what I read you are allowed certain deductions such as office supplies as it relates to your trading. Perhaps I am stretching the deduction???
As for the stocks, I trade do about 400 transactions a year. I do download the transactions from my broker but it is not in the correct format. I have to take it to Excel to match it to IRS requirements. It is easier for me just to attach it to the return and mail it in then. Perhaps I can attach it electronically. I don't know. Ugh. LOL
