The breakdown is 60%-40% long-term to short-term capital gains. You get the
information from your broker on a form 1099, you report it under sec 1256
trades on your schedule D and it flows to page 1 of your form 1040 under
schedule D transactions.
The net gain goes here, but the net loss is limited to the first $3,000.00.

Perry,
I have a question regarding futures. I understand that profits and
losses from futures trading is taxed at a rate between long term and
short term capital gains/losses. You state that the net on futures
trading for the year is reported on Schedule D. What happens after that?
