Where is form 6781

I use Deluxe to file last year and I was able to get file info with K-1.  How come I can't do it with the on line version?

The online Deluxe edition does not support entry of a Schedule K-1.  Only the Premier or Self-employed online editions support entry of a Schedule K-1.

The online Deluxe edition does not support Form 6781, Gains and Losses From Section 1256 Contracts and Straddles.   Only the Premier or Self-employed online editions support entry of a Form 6781.

Enter 6781, section 1256 contracts and straddles in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen.  Click on Jump to 6781, section 1256 contracts and straddles

Enter k-1 in the Search box located in the upper right of the program screen.  Click on Jump to k-1

Thank you! using search box when I type form 6781, there are too may search results and I couldn't

find jump to 6781..However your screen shot helped me, so I looked for 1256 contracts under wages & income

and located the section to start entering the details.
