jrwax2 asked:
I’m based in the US and already have an US based FX account. Due to silly NFA rules and regulations I am thinking about opening a UK Forex account but am worried about potential taxes I would have to pay. Do I have to pay US and UK taxes if I have a UK based account and live in the US. I will not be spread betting.

John asked: Do I need to itemize each and every Forex transaction? There are hundreds of them.
Or since I had a loss, can I just not list all the positive transactions and then also not list the same amount of negative transactions (leaving only the actual loss) ?

I am doing normal daily trading of EUR/USD, trades lasting a few hours on average. I am not sure if this is considered futures or securities and I therefore don’t know how to pay taxes on it.

So this year I tried www.fxcm.com Forex trading and lost $1300. I was wondering if I can somehow put this on my tax return as capital loss and where I would put such an item.

D DD asked: Would I use lines 13 or 14 on 1040 to claim Forex investment losses?
I meant “still claim the standard deduction.”
For instance, when I believe when itemizing deductions one can not claim the standard deduction. I’m wondering if I can claim Forex losses without giving up the standard deduction.
