Course Description

Most states now have some form of legalized gambling. Even in states without legalized gambling, there are internet gamblers, those who travel to gambling venues and those who engage in illegal gambling. As a result, more and more people have gambling winnings or losses. Unfortunately, not all taxpayers maintain adequate records of wins and losses and many become subject to IRS audits. Learn the rules and regulations for accounting for gambling winnings and losses. We will review the most recent cases and rulings, both ‘for’ and ‘against’ taxpayers.
