Tax preference on options on futures?

G

gnode

I read an article that says options on index futures get the same tax preference as index futures, effectively capping gains at 23% tax rate.

Is this still true? I have not found an article about it newer than 2008.

I do quite a bit of options on RUT. If this tax preference is true, I am going to increase that component of my trading strategy.
 
A little more info.

But if for one reason or another you choose trader status you loose 60/40 status - since all p/l will be treated as ordinary income.
