You may end up paying taxes twice on your forex income. You’ll have to pay income tax in the country of your residence (USA). And you’ll also have to pay tax on the same forex income in the country where you have your forex account.
There are some agreements between some countries to avoid double taxation like that. But not every country has an agreement like that with USA. Which means that you might have to pay taxes twice. Or else the IRS will be after you.
I live in the USA and I have one broker based in the UK and one based in Canada. All deposits are in USD and I report gains on my taxes as normal.

Many of them are unregulated which has its ups and downs… The upside is that you can use all kinds of expert advisors (automatic robots that trade for you unlimited) without being regulated by the NFA:
Downside is that they aren’t regulated (so they can screw you over if they have a bad reputation).
There is quite a lot of money available in the forex market if you know what your doing.. unfortunately that takes a long time to master.
I definitely recommend metatrader (mt4) expert advisors (robots that trade forex automatically for you)…
