You should include the short put gain on your tax return. While losses on straddles are generally deferred in that if only one side of a straddle position is closed, any realized losses are generally not deductible until the offsetting position is also closed out, in your case, the short put resulted in a gain. Because of the gain, it was appropriate to include the gain on your 1099-B.
