In the statement, enter a description, which identifies an account or contract transaction. Enter the amount of the gain or loss for the entire year without regard to any Form 1099-B adjustment that may be required.
Enter the positive or negative adjustments that may be required when the Form 1099-B received includes a straddle or hedging transaction as defined in section 1256(e)(2).

Gains and Losses From Straddles

Enter the closing price or the sale price for each position closed out or sold and the cost or other basis for each position closed out or sold and the unrecognized gain from offsetting positions as of the last business day of the tax year. Include in the cost nondeductible interest and carrying charges allocable to property that is part of a straddle. The unrecognized gain is determined by subtracting the cost or other basis of the offsetting position from the settlement price of that position as of the last business day of the tax year.
