Deductions & credits

Thank you so much, DianeW777.

 

First to answer your question - I am using TurboTax CD/Download Premier, and I am a Day Trader, not an investor.  And also, I did not choose to use the Mark-to-Market method.

 

So just to confirm, since I didn't elect mark-to-market, I have no choice but to use Schedule D and Form 8949 to report my trading activity, and, therefore, I CANNOT use schedule C for home office expenses. 

 

Is there any way a day trader (not using mark-to-market) can get any deduction for a home office, computers, internet service, etc?

 

Thanks again.
