TurboTax supports Form 6781 (in all desktop versions and the higher versions online).

 

In the interview, you get there in the Investment Income section (Contracts and Straddles).

 

What are you trying to enter?

April 13, 2022

I'm using TurboTax Premier online on a Mac.  I'm unable to MANUALLY enter information on Form 6781 as I want to enter the information in the first section using boxes 8, 10, 11 etc.  TurboTax keeps forcing me to the interview section with the same questions and there is nothing that allows me to manually enter the information.  Everything I'm reporting is from options on indexes (SPX, XSP etc) which qualify for a 60/40 long-term/short-term cap gain.  How can I do this????
