    Hi All,

    An elementary question. Sorry if it is covered. A little urgent for me - for oct 15 deadline and I am just realizing the tax implications of some of me trades.

    I need to fill part 2 of form 6781 for straddle by straddle identification. I have fairly complex trades, - Iron condors, Butterflies, condors etc which have more two legs.
    The space provided is only two rows.

    Question is how do I report it ? Attach a separate printout from an Excel Sheet ?
    Will taxact or turbo tax software do this automatically for me ?



    Regards,
    Swapan
