Lao Da,
Last year I opened an IB account at the end of October, and had some short term gain, this is the first time I used a taxable
trading account, so here is the question.
Is it correct that my short term gain shall be XXX.xx + ZZZ.zz - YYY.yy (Please see the form below)
For the tax purpose, I only need to submit "Consolidated Forms 1099" right?
I also had 1099-DIV, I guess, there is no short or long term DIV, right?
overall I think non-taxable account is much easier at tax time, I could save a lot of time.
Thank you very much.
