Get your taxes done using TurboTax

It seems reasonable to me that in person sports bets are treated differently than online sports bets. In person each wager is an individual transaction, like a keno slip or lottery ticket - both of which you’d tally individual wins and losses. Online operates with a revolving account where sportsbook and casino wins and losses are all intermingled for a net profit (or loss), like fantasy sports. I’m trying to get further confirmation, preferably from a tax professional familiar with the latest online gambling regulations. Like I said, the casino already confirmed it is net profits that get reported for tax purposes, not the sum of every individual wager ever. I would like to take that as fact, but I understand they are not the IRS. I would just hope that if they are confirming tax information that it most certainly better be accurate.
