Health Savings Account Tax Question?

Mike J asked:
So I’ve been using my Health Savings Account to pay for some non-qualified expenses. I’m aware that I pay a 10% penalty on these withdraws and that I’m supposed to pay income tax on the $ (because it goes into the account as pre-tax dollars. My question is this: when the time comes how do I pay income tax on this (like what tax form is used?). Also, how does the govt know that I even owe $ based on these expenses? I just used it a few times for purchases under $100.
