$1,481.39

If you have been a follower of this blog then you know that my first year investing I lost over 2 thousand dollars but when it came tax time I didn’t deduct any of it because I knew that I could use those losses to offset future gains that I would hope would come in ‘09. Well, last year I made money, $1,481.39 to be exact and this time that is going to have to be on my taxes because Uncle Sam no doubt will want a piece of my small pie and that is fine. Now, I am not really sure if I can use the exact amount and that is why I can’t wait to go see my tax preparer this year, stay tuned.
