Читать книгу Casino Gambling For Dummies - Swain Scheps - Страница 122

The IRS addresses the issue of proper record-keeping and documentation for gamblers. The basic requirements include

 Date and type of gambling event (poker, blackjack, and so on)

 Name and location of casino, racetrack, or gambling venue

 Table or slot machine number where gambling took place

 Who you were with when gambling

 Total dollar amount you won or lost

If you neglected to track these details, you’re permitted to use airline tickets, canceled checks, bank withdrawals, credit card cash advances, losing betting stubs, or yearly statements of your win/loss from the casino as additional collaboration. The burden of proof rests on you, the taxpayer, so the better your records, the better your chances of surviving an audit.
