I can't see "Other" in accounting method, only "cash", "accrual" and "combination". I'm using Home&Business 2016 and using MTM accounting.

I use Mark to Market as accounting method in my Schedule C and based on the answers I see, I should select "other". 

However, I see no "other" option, only "cash", "accrual" or "combination". I'm using Home and Business 2016. Thanks

I would use the combination.  There is an "overall" method of accounting which would be cash or accrual. 

Within that, there are sub-methods.  Mark to market would be a sub-method.

See the following rules to see if you have made the proper election for mark to market.
