How do I pay income tax on ForEx earnings?

This is my first time for paying income tax on ForEx, being a US citizen i believe i have to pay tax on forex income, but i have no clue what do i have to do for that. Thanks for your help.

Chosen Answer:
Normally you need to file them as capital gains or losses (like you would with stocks or options).

But you can make a special election that will allow you to split them as 60% long terms capital gains and 40% regular income, which is advantageous for tax purposes since long term capital gains rates are lower.
