Tax software for option traders

Can anyone recommend a tax program applicable to option traders. I've been struggling with Turbo tax and H&R block (both online applications), but cannot find a way to enter Section 1256 data. I've scrolled through all their help options (many of which don't match the software being used), and searched high and low on the web for instructions. Other than paying for their very expensive personal support there doesn't seem to be a viable solution.

Will appreciate any useful feedback.
 
I do not have a recommendation, but I saw a section on TastyTrades how to enter the intormation into TurboTax
Also I guess online version can be different from desktop version of TurboTax
 
For section 1256 you have to use form 6781
I just looked this up
The online Deluxe edition does not support Form 6781, Gains and Losses From Section 1256 Contracts and Straddles. Only the Premier or Self-employed online editions support entry of a Form 6781.
So I guess you need the premiere version which may not be free
