Answers about filing with BlackLine

Get clarity on pricing, security, and how we handle trader tax returns.

Who should use BlackLine Tax Group?

BlackLine is built for active traders: day traders, swing traders, options traders, and crypto traders. If you file Schedule C or handle 1099 income with frequent trades, we specialize in your situation. Our platform handles wash sales, cost basis, and trader-specific deductions automatically.

How does BlackLine handle my trading data?

All data is reconciled against your 1099s to identify and resolve missing or duplicate transactions.

Is my data secure with BlackLine?

Yes. We use industry-standard encryption for all data in transit and at rest. Your trading data and tax documents are never shared with third parties. You control what you upload and can delete your information anytime.

What about pricing? Do you charge per return or by trade count?

We price by return, not by trade volume. No matter if you made 100 trades or 10,000, the cost is the same. Exact pricing details are on our services page. We're transparent, and you'll see the full cost before you file.

Can BlackLine file an amended return or prior-year return?

We handle current-year returns. If you need to amend a prior year or file back taxes, contact us directly at 832-272-2492. We'll assess your situation and guide you through next steps.

What's the turnaround time for my return?

Once you submit your completed information and documents, we review within 2-3 business days. If we need clarification, we'll reach out. You'll have your return ready to file or amend within that window.
