Get your taxes done using TurboTax

It is not a straddle if all you had was one call option contract.  To have a straddle you would need two offsetting options.   To keep this simple, you could just report this one option trade as follows:

 

  1. Go to Income & Expenses,
  2. Scroll down the page to Investment Income,
  3. Select Stocks, Cryptocurrency, Mutual Funds, Bonds, etc.,
  4. On the next page, select options when asked What type of investment did you sell?
  5. Enter your information.
