Section 1256 gains & losses import?

Does the 2023 tax year version support import of Section 1256 ('commodity' futures and options) gains and losses. I could not find any info dated in 2024.

see investment section - contracts and straddles. that's where the net 1256 gain/loss is entered.  (form 6781)

Section 1256 is Mark-To-Market.; only your net gain or loss for the year shown on your statement has to be entered.
