If you have gain or loss from a Section 1256 Straddle coming fron a K-1 Form, Pro Series does not carry the short term gain or loss to Schedule B line 10. You have to go to the MA capital gain worksheet and enter this info. This has been true for at least 4 years. Pro Series says the SW is designed like this because of Ma law dfifferences. I think this explantion is a crock. I have spoken to them about this and have not received a satisfactory response. I checked with another Tax Pro and his SW handles this transaction seemlessly and the short term gain is autiomatically taken to Schedule B line10.
