Taxes -- Thinking ahead to next year.

Hi, I am completely new to trading, and will start putting money in the market next week.
I will probably be doing a few trades a week, and perhaps some day trading here and there on pennies.

To make tax season easier on myself next year, what are some things that I can start doing now?

Should I keep a log of trades by hand, or will my broker (zecco) provide all of the necessary information at the end of the year?
Should I buy myself a tax program (if so, which)?
Should I get an accountant?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
Thank you
