Re: IRS and Win/Loss Statements

Post by BillyJoe »

Just got a love letter  from the IRS wanting supporting documentation for my tax year 2009 Misc Deductions Schedule A. The only thing on it were my gambling losses to offset my W2G reported winnings that year. I am sending them copies of the various casino's Win/Loss statements as the supporting evidence. Anyone have first-hand experience on whether the IRS will accept those?
Good news !!
I got my "No Tax Change" letter from the IRS today regarding my 2009 return. At least for me in this case, the Win/Loss casino statements were enough to support my loss deductions.
