I have a 1099-B which is Regulated Futures Contract with a loss of 3,573.38. How do I report it and how do I carry it over to next year?

Below are the steps to enter the Regulated Futures Contracts 1099-B information in TurboTax:

1. Click on Federal > Wages & Income

3. Answer YES that you had Any Straddles or Section 1256 Contracts?
4. Don't make any special elections selections unless they apply to you.
5. On the Contracts and Straddles page, mark the box next to Sec.1256 Contracts marked-to-market.
