Question

What is the best tax/ business structure for a stock /etf trader? ?

Answer 1

If you are the only employee of the future company but still want the good benefits like health-care, retirement plan with limited personal liability and of course the tax benefits, look into an LLC or limited liability corporation. If there are multiple employees or owners and you want to issue stock then a C corp may be a better way to go.

Answer 2

I'd say "for-profit."  You certainly wouldn't use "non-profit" here.
