Short Term Capital Gains

Hello,

 

This may seem a ignorant question but I really need help. I am a 19 year old college student who does not much know about taxes or claiming investments. I recently made an investment through a fellow stock investor and I am set to receive an estimated $60,000. I have never filed for taxes and know nothing about  these kind of things. I am unemployed since I am a full time student but I am just curious to what I am going to claim this investment I receive back as. How much am I going to be taxed? Since I don't work, what am I going to claim as? Someone please help guide me in the right direction thank you so much!
