Options Trading Tutorial

Do you know if I can write off stock options losses?

My 1099 had all of my stock purchases and sales, but didn't list my stock options, so when I went to my accoutant she didn't see them and I thought I had had more than the losses she calculated. I had a lot of stock option losses and gets me to the max 3k for the year. Thanks!

1. If you had option losses REALIZED ( a closed transaction) in a non-retirement account and they don't show up, then it's time to call the broker and ask questions, as they should be there.
