**I have found the solution to this issue**
Preface: I had believed that either Koinly or the TurboTax software had made an error in reporting my futures transactions, however I realized by searching for more information on a category of gains in Koinly labeled as "Other Gains," that there is simply a setting (look on the right side of the Tax Reports tab in Koinly, where it says "Settings," then beneath it, "These settings are used to calculate your gains. To change any of these click here") that will remove all Margin/Futures/Derivatives transactions from your Capital Gains amount just in case "you prefer to declare such gains separately."
The setting that needs to be changed is called: "Treat other gains as capital gains"
This needs to be ENABLED in order to include futures/margin/derivatives trades into your capital gains.
In short, you can simply change this setting if you're in the USA and have Margin/Futures transactions and it will include them in your report. I believe that this is all I needed to do. Koinly *REALLY* should just have this setting enabled by default for USA citizens.. I'm not sure why anyone would wish to claim these things "elsewhere" or where they'd be claimed, but I know that it's CERTAINLY not the simplest route so it's silly to default to having it disabled.
I hope this helps someone else in the future!
