@MelindaS1 Thank you for the reply.
To confirm, if I have have multiple legs at losses, I will add them separately in form 6781 box 10. Is it expected that the same unrecognized gain will be used multiple times in multiple rows of box 10?
Fox example, I have three legs open at the same time.
- leg 1: long stock A, unrecognized gain 1000 at EOY.
- leg 2: PUT of stock A. Sold for loss of 1000.
- leg 3: PUT of stock A at a different strike price. Sold for loss of 500.
If I add leg 2 and 3 separately, do I fill in 1000 at column (g) for both of them? This will cause total loss 1500 being deferred and column (h) will be 0.
If I combine leg 2 and 3, I’ll have 1500 loss in column (f) and 1000 at column (g), the recognized loss column (h) will be 500.
