- Hi,
-
- I have a couple of simple year-end tax questions:
-
- 1. Suppose I own a stock and write covered call options against it
- that expire next year. When is the premium recieved for the
- sale of options taxable?
-
- - this year, because that's when I receive the premium, OR
- - next year, because that's when the options expire?
-
- 2. Is the interest charged on the margin account deductible?
-
- Thanks!
