After sending off the forms for requesting "mark-to-market" status, should I receive word back from the IRS as to whether I was allowed that status or not?

I sent this request a few years ago yet never heard back from them. Now that I want to trade futures only, I'm wondering if I should even bother trying to request that the "mark-to-market" status be revoked. By the way, I requested the MTM status in Texas, but now live in CA. Thanks!

you dont 'request' you just inform them of your intent to file MM. If you didnt file MM nothing to worry about.

A good accountant that knows your state and fed requirements can give you a real answer. Was in the same situation a couple of years ago. Why ask traders about tax questions?

the generic answer "check with your accountant" sounds good but in reality few accountants even know what MM mean.

Took me a while to find one that knew what they were doing. If you were from Wi. I'd have a great recommendation for you.
