The Problem
Most traders think they're profitable…
until taxes hit
Unknown Tax Bill
Short-term gains on active trading can push your effective rate above 40% — most traders discover this too late.
Distorted P&L
Without wash sale tracking and tax-adjusted reporting, your P&L looks significantly better than it actually is.
April Surprises
Traders who don't track taxes throughout the year face massive, unexpected payments that wipe out months of gains.
