The numbers cited were examples, and I have sufficient losses, unfortunately, to eradicate the wins this year. So it is simply the principle of the matter that irks.
My issue throughout the entire thread is the way the casino reports is incorrect and that remains true.
I know I wouldn't submit at tax time, but at Audit time such things would be important.
If I have an audit I would much rather have evidence that backs up my claims properly, otherwise when I call upon a report from the casino to support my claim I then have to argue that the supporting evidence is incorrect.
It would be a lot more high percentage to have such supporting evidence actually match what you are claiming properly.
Lawyers and Accountants can make a good case, but such people are on both sides of the Audit and both rely on Evidence and Documentation to support their claim.
