a put option for a stock - if you first bought it that's its cost and if you sold it that's its sales price. if it expired the sales price is zero - so you have a capital loss.
if you first sold it that's its sales price and if you purchased it to closed that's its cost. if it expired the cost is zero - so you have a capital gain.
if the option is still open at year-end, then there's nothing to report until the year you close the position or it expires.
