Future contracts are Section 1256 Contracts and are reported on Form 5781.To enter your future contracts:

Go to Wages & Income
Scroll down to Less Common Investments and Savings
Select Start by Contracts and Straddles
TurboTax will guide you to enter your future contracts.

Refer to the TurboTax article What is Form 6781: Gains and Losses from Section 1256 Contracts and Straddles?
