But, if you have a Roth IRA, you can trade stocks in that account all day long without paying the capital gains taxes, but you can't take out the money until you are 59 1/2 without penalties. There may be some other information that you want to look into too, but that's what I know so far and plan to look into it further when I get some time. It might be a good way to try to flip some and see how it goes. The downfall is that you can't write off losses on your taxes.
