My understanding is that most trades on Coinexx Ltd. do not qualify as Section 1256 contracts. To qualify for Section 1256, they need to be traded on a qualified US or foreign board of trade. 

 

You will need to report these transactions in TurboTax as capital gain/loss. Here is an article that should help you enter the information.
