Week 26 Deposit and Foreign Taxes

EDIT: At the time this blog entry was posted I had a Youtube video here. That has been removed but I want the rest of my content to be remain. Nothing hidden no past mistakes ignored. All out in the open.

Here is a link to IRS Publication 514. Again, I am not a tax adviser and not saying what ERF taxes will qualify as. I will say though that I will be using Turbo Tax and talking with a licensed tax preparer about it. Whatever taxes are due I'll pay, tax credit or not, and it will not change if I keep owning ERF. It has an 8% yield I think a 15% tax is not going to break anything.

Since I shifted my forex trade size and max loss per trade being on Oanda vs ThinkorSwim I have updated the Trading Account's estimates below.
