I'm in a similar pickle. All of my income from trading has already been reported in other places: importing forms from TDA Ameritrade and listing my profits under "Cryptocurrencies." Now, I show zero income on Schedule C, but $10,000 in expenses. I can't use all of my home office expenses because that schedule C shows zero income. I made about $50K trading, but spent $10K and want to report it all as expenses. How can I move my income/profits to schedule C?
