Enter the negative as a sales price (as a negative) and scroll down to "1=purchased option expired, 2=written option expired" and enter a 2
I think this will accomplish the result you are looking for (I assume there is no cost basis shown)
Answers are easy. Questions are hard!

How about zero sales price and enter a basis. Also click the Schedule D tab in the upper section and Scroll down to just above the 2nd check box and find 1= purchased option expired.
For the reverse to happen enter sales price with no expense and enter a 2= written option expired.
Play with it and see what the 8949 looks like.
