Filling out Form 3115 MTM as a Day Trader

Can someone please walk me thru step by step on how to fill out Form 3115 as a day trade? My 481a adjustment is zero.

 

I've read over a number of threads and am seeing mixed advice, some people are saying part ii Qs 5-12 is only for corporations other people are saying you need to mark no for those.

 

Right now I have:

 

Type of applicant: Individual 

 

Part I Q1a DCN 64

 

Part II Q4 No

Part II Q13 No

 

Part IV Q26 Zero

 

Is this sufficient? If no can someone please assist with what additional questions I should fill out? As of right now, outside of the four questions above and my name and additional details on the very top of the form nothing else has been filled out.

Filling out Form 3115 MTM as a Day Trader

You did not get a response to the same question you posted several days ago because TurboTax does not really support Form 3115.

 

The form is included and can be completed manually in Forms Mode, but the form needs to be attached to your return and a separate signed copy needs to be mailed to the IRS.

 

Frankly, you're asking someone on the board here to instruct you as to how to complete your tax return which is somewhat of an unreasonable request. Try a local tax professional.
