TraderTaxHQ was founded to serve prop firm, funded account, and active futures traders. We translate IRS complexity into clear, compliant tax strategies that protect your profits.
Prop firm and active traders operate in a unique tax landscape. Generalist accountants miss critical rules about 1099-NEC reporting, self-employment tax, Section 1256 contracts, and trader tax status elections. That leaves money on the table—and compliance risk on the line.
TraderTaxHQ was founded to close that gap. We specialize exclusively in prop firm and funded account traders, plus active traders across all instruments: futures, forex, stocks, options, and crypto. We know the rules. We know the pitfalls. And we know how to get you compliant, optimized, and confident.
Our team lives and breathes trader tax rules—from 1099-NEC reporting to Section 1256 60/40 treatment.
We don't just read the rules—we understand the challenges prop firm and active traders face every day.
Every return we file is audit-ready documentation. Compliance comes before everything.
These principles guide every decision, every return, every interaction with our clients.
We never cut corners or take aggressive tax positions that put you at risk. Your returns are IRS-compliant, fully documented, and defensible if ever questioned.
Trading taxes are complex. We obsess over details—1099-NEC reconciliation, wash sale calculations, 1256 contract elections—so nothing slips through.
Your trading data and financial information stay private. We use bank-level encryption and never share details with third parties.
TraderTaxHQ was built specifically for prop firm and funded account traders. We understand 1099-NEC reporting, self-employment tax, and the unique challenges you face.
You trade ES futures, forex, prop firm accounts, or options. We understand those instruments, the platforms you use, and the tax reporting quirks of each. No learning curve.
Traders don't work 9-to-5. We offer evening and weekend consultations so you can focus on trading without worrying about tax deadlines.
Every return we file is audit-ready with detailed documentation and clear explanations for every election and calculation. You'll never wonder if your return is solid.
Most traders use multiple brokers and prop firms. We handle the complexity of aggregating data across Interactive Brokers, NinjaTrader, Apex, Topstep, and more into a single, accurate return.
We didn't start with a generic tax practice. TraderTaxHQ was built specifically because prop firm and active traders deserve specialists who understand 1099-NEC reporting, funded account structures, and self-employment tax optimization.
We're intentionally selective about who we work with. By focusing exclusively on traders, we deliver unmatched expertise and personalized service. Your success is our success.
We don't just file returns. We build documentation so thorough and clear that if the IRS ever questions your return, you'll know exactly how we got there and why it's defensible.
Tax law changes every year. We stay ahead of IRS guidance, court rulings, and emerging trader tax strategies so you don't have to. Your complexity is our specialty.
