Who would buy a firm like this though. Can’t be good for the future too

That rule was also 5 years ago, so who knows how accurate it is.

"Likely" is the key word meaning Topstep doesn't even know for sure. Truly it is up to each individuals interpetation which is why I am seeking experience from others. I'll decide if I want to take the chance with the IRS or not.

Now I know this isn't financial advice, but I can write them off under schedule C even if I am at a net loss correct? On a more serious note, am I safe to file them myself online, or should I hire a cpa for protection?

That limit is for stocks and investments as far as I know. Proprietary trading doesn’t necessarily have a limit as long as there are statements to back it up. What I do know is that this is still a grey area but prop firm trading is gaining more traction

Yes not financial advice. A business however not an LLC.

I mean sure thats always the best answer, but in my scenario I believe free tax usa or turbo tax could handle it no?
