Day Trading Taxes

Do I have to pay taxes in day trading?

It depends. If you are a citizen or resident of the United States, you do have to pay income taxes on your day trading profits.

There is really no way around this. The amount of taxes you pay might vary if you trade under your own name or under the name of a business entity (consult a tax professional if you are considering setting up a business for trading purposes).

On the other hand, if you are a foreigner (non-U.S. resident) you can trade without paying any taxes to the United States government. That is one of the greatest incentives that the United States offers foreign stock, futures, and currency investors.
