I have a 1099B form to file for commodities futures trades, but my form doesn't look like Turbo Tax is saying it should. What do I do?

Futures contracts are Section 1256 contracts for the IRS.

 

Please read this TurboTax article on how to report income on Section 1256 contracts.

 

You'll need to complete form 6781.

 

To do this in TurboTax, please follow these steps:

• Click on Search on the top right of your screen
• In the search box, type form 6781
• In the search result page, click on Jump to form 6781
• TurboTax will take you through a questionnaire where you can enter your information
