    This is the first year I'll get getting a 1099 along w a K1 for taxes

    I normally just hand my accountant the K1 and taxes are easy, but I'm wondering if there is anything I should know or do now that I'm getting a 1099

    I know I should ask my accountant but they don't always know the best w regards to trading.
