I do maybe a couple dozen option trades per year (about 200 since May 2020) , depending on volatility, so maybe not your best source of information.

The first question I’ll ask is why the tax office would ever know about your option trades. &nbsp; It’s not that you have to hide them, but you have to declare year end positions only.  
See my post on how your tax commissioner in practice judges whether you are a professional trader: [6 month holding rule clarification - #5 by Your\_Full\_Name](https://forum.mustachianpost.com/t/6-month-holding-rule-clarification/11626/5) (the link summary is a little misleading: I don’t just discuss the 6 months holding rule, but the aggreate of your trades that might look like executed by a professional trader).
