Futures contracts are Section 1256 contracts for the IRS.

Please read this TurboTax article on how to report income on Section 1256 contracts.

 

You'll need to complete form 6781.

To do this in TurboTax, please follow these steps:

  • Click on Search on the top right of your screen
  • In the search box, type form 6781
  • In the search result page, click on Jump to form 6781
  • TurboTax will take you through a questionnaire where you can enter your information

    You'll need TurboTax Online Premier or above to access form 6781.

     

    Please make sure that you type in form 6781 and not 6187.
