I dont have any W2s this year and my income was from stock trading and unemployment benefits. Should I attach for 1099's with it or are those not required?

Did you file Federal Tax return? If yes, it is best to get IRS Tax Transcripts, which can be sned in place of the copy of tax returns filed (it is free and can get in a week). If you prefer to send copy of the tax return, then send 1040 with 1099 and other forms used (copy of full tax return is required).

Your Unemployment Benefits are Taxable therefore you did recieve a statement, whether you Filed for 2010 was your choice. If you paid in you could show a refund depending upon you personal circumstances and a Return is mandatory if you recieved over a approx. of $5000.00. Annual for 2010.

Stock trading is a different story and also requires a separate balance sheet showing losses or gains and requires a return of the investor to write off or show a profit or loss and pay taxes either long or short term as income. If you failed to File a 2010 return (2011 is not due yet) Then there is a problem.

Please understand I'm unemployed myself but I don't think it will help my petition. Stock trading is risky and not really for the unemployed. Your Petition would be helpful to to include : Filing a 2010 return, show Assets both personal and in your investment Portfolio if this applies. AND CURRANT INCOME.

Hopefully, your past the requirements for 2011. If your Unemployed and have no tax returns then your screwed unless I'm talking to Donald Trump.

Unemployment Benefits will not cut the cakebut a plentiful Portfolia will but not so many people have that.

Your post was kinda short so I did the best I could.
