IRS Form 6781 – Fillable PDF for Gains & Losses from Section 1256 Contracts

Form 6781, officially titled Gains and Losses From Section 1256 Contracts and Straddles, is required for traders, investors, and any taxpayer who holds regulated futures, options, foreign‑currency contracts, or other Section 1256 instruments. This one‑page form reports both short‑term and long‑term capital results, and it includes election boxes for mixed‑straddle and loss‑carryback options.

What Is IRS Form 6781?

The form captures three distinct sections:

Part I – Section 1256 Contracts Marked to Market
Part II – Gains and Losses from Straddles
Part III – Unrecognized Gains on Positions Held at Year‑End

Each part helps the IRS calculate the correct mix of short‑term (40%) and long‑term (60%) capital treatment, regardless of the actual holding period.
