Is it normal for stock brokers to report your revenue instead of profit to the IRS?

For instance, if you sell a stock for $5 then your revenue is $5. But if you paid $3 to buy the stock, then you only really made $2.

My stock broker just reported the revenue, and not the profit. They’re reporting I earned $70,000 when I really only made like $3,000 because they didn’t discount the money I paid to buy the stock. Is this normal?

Also, how much is it going to cost to hire an accountant to go over all of this?

Why paying off mortgage instead of investing in the stock market?

I’m confused. If a fixed mortgage is 7%, wouldn’t it be better to invest in the stock market for an average of 10% in the long run. In this case, I could have a tax deductable while gaining in the stock market. So, should I pay off the mortgage asap or invest in the stock market?

Instead Of Buying Auto Insurance Is There A Way To Just Have A Savings Account Just For $coverages?

So all US states require all cars on the road to have insurance . . . since insurance is just dollars put asside for release in the event of emergencies or other pre-determined event . . . why cant I just put $100,000 into a bank account and call it my auto liability account and have my car insured with the state under my name providing that I don’t touch those funds?
