Been trading a lot and have decided to go MTM (mark-to-market) next year (2014 tax year). First when and how do I need to file? Second, what happens to about $20,000 in current and older carry over losses? Will I get to take the whole loss the first year I do MTM for taxes? Or do I keep the whittling away at the carry overs, $3,000 a year, while separately posting a MTM gain or loss? Do I combine? This is stumping me for some reason but I have a feeling there is an easy answer.
