For Regulated future contracts, in turbo tax (section 1256 contracts) asks for 8 - Account description what to put in?
For Regulated future contracts, in turbo tax (section 1256 contracts) asks for 8 - Account description. In my 1088 B its a profit or (loss) realized in 2017 on closed contracts (a dollar amount).
Box 11 - Aggregate profit or (loss) on contract is populated.
On Turbo tax what do I put in 'Box 8 - Account description'?

Yes line 8 is an amount not a description.
I see "Box 7 - account description"
But, for a description, put your broker's name or just -REGULATED FUTURES CONTRACTS-
It's not important what it says there.

I notice that if you have two futures accounts, TurboTax won't handle correctly the description for the second broker.
