you should have a substitute 1099-B that reports your futures net gain or loss in 2018.
It goes on Forn 6781

Hello, so I had an incident where I got a margin liquidation on a bitcoin futures contract and lost everything, just curious how do I report that on Turbotax?

How can I report this manually since I have not received any broker statement? Can I list it as stock/currency loss and that I received $0 when sold on my TXF imported file instead of filling out form 6781? Unfortunately,I do not understand anything about form 6781.
