I have a 1099-B from E*Trade for a Regulated Futures Contracts, Foreign Currency Contracts, and Section 1256 Option Contracts. It reports in box 1a a series of puts and calls, and in box 11 a total gain of $5488. How do I enter this data into 6781 in Pro Series? The way I have done it looks wrong, seemingly reducing income by the amount of the gain.... step by step instruction for idiots most appreciated.
