I entered into said Contract a month or so ago. I paid X amount and in a year from from the date of this contract, I will receive my initial investment plus $1000. I contacted the Company and asked if they would be sending an income tax form and they said no. I assume that I'll use Form 6781 for this, next year when I receive my gains.
Am I correct? Any help would be appreciated.
Note: I am not a Farmer. I will not be housing Cattle, they will remain in the custody of the contracted Company.
i don't know what kind of contract you entered into. it does not seem like a regulated futures contract because for them it's the market value you paid vs the market value at expiration or disposition that determines your profit or loss not a "guarantee" of a fixed profit. you may need to consult a tax pro who can review the contract to give you an opinion on how to report it.
Thank you for responding.
What type of tax pro are you referring to? I contacted a CPA in my area, but they wouldn't help me unless I was already a client.
a tax lawyer or CPA. don't know why the one you contacted refused unless you become a client. contact your state CPA society or Bar association for recommendations. warning get an estimate of fees. that's because fees could eat up a good portion of the"$1000" profit.
