If you were simply buying and selling SPY options during the year, you would report those gains/losses the same as you would other investment gains/losses, and you wouldn't be seeing that screen.  If you were buying straddles, and/or Section 1256 trades and you're unsure what to check, you should consult with a local tax professional that is familiar with taxation of option trades.
