Your ETF would be taxed as a capital gain. How long you held your bond for would determine if it was a short-term or long-term capital gain.
In general;
If you sell after less than a year, your ETF will be taxed as a short-term capital gain. Short-term capital gains have a significantly higher tax rate than long-term capital gains.
If you hold on to your ETF for more than a year, it is taxed as a long-term capital gain.
Capital gains and losses are found on Schedule'D of your tax return.
