Turbotax won't allow negative numbers on form 6781 part III

I have a short (-1 contract) position in the Russell 2000 futures. I opened it at 1899.1 and it closed the year at 1770.9. So I ended the year with an unrealized gain of 128.2 points and at $50 per point that is $6,410. My question is how do I report this on form 6781 part III since Turbotax won't allow me to enter negative numbers for fair market value and cost basis.
