You report your profits/losses on IRS form 6781 and transferred to Schedule D
60% are considered long term
40% are considered short term

Foreign exchange (forex) measures bring to account foreign currency gains and losses as assessable income or allowable deductions, on a realisation basis, to the extent such gains or losses are attributable to a fluctuation in a currency exchange rate, or to an agreed exchange rate differing from an actual exchange rate. The measures apply to all taxpayers, except for, broadly, banks and similar financial institutions.

What forms are they sending you?
1256 contracts go first to form 6781, then schedule D.
Other contracts go to line 21 with an attached explanation.
