short option sales will normally always result in short-term capital gain/loss but then there is the possibility you have a hedging transaction that could change this. for a pure short option sale, nothing is reported until either the option expires or you close the position. should it be exercised the proceeds are added to the sales price of the stock. puts are the same, nothing to report until it either expires or you close the position. should it be exercised then the premium you paid is added to the amount you paid to buy the stock and nothing is reported until you dispose of the stock.
didn't you get a 1099-B for reporting these transactions?
