Are NON-0DTE options/longer term options a way to avoid going full regard, while still having some gamble?

I been interested in swing trading and 1ish month options seem like a decent medium between full degeneracy(and greed if we are being honest) that we see with 0dte options and trying to be sound and reasoned with your trades/hypothesis.

Are there any downfalls or things to be aware of with options in this time range? Are small profits counter productive in regards to taxes? Like does making a $50-100 on an options trade cost you more in the long run when Uncle Sam jams you up in his yearly visit? I dont think it would but I dont know. Im a poor so I dont understand tax code and how to make it my bitch so any tips appreciated. regarded or legitimate.
