Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You may be right, but I called the IRS and the lady I spoke with claimed they did.  They do what she described as a data match.  So if they have 3 W2G from a casino they are looking for 3 W2G from your tax return.  If they don't see them they dig deeper to find out why.  She did tell me that I could add them all up and when they looked at them if the numbers matched then they proceed.  They see it more when a person has more than the 15 total you are allowed to have for e-File.  I was quite surprised at how well she explained it.  I guess I got lucky got one of those great IRS employees.
