If I make income trading currency on the foreign exchange, must I report this on my federal taxes?
I want to start trading currency on the foreign exchange but am not sure if I would need to report my returns as income on my federal income tax return. If I do need to report it, how so?

Unless you live outside the country, you must report your world-wide income on your federal tax return.
If you’re an investor–and not a professional trader–foreign currency is a capital asset. Gains and losses from trading capital assets go on Schedule D.

You must report the information.
