Sorry .. you cannot net the losses against the winnings ... all winnings must be reported ... then the losses are listed and IF you can itemize then the losses up to the winnings can be taken on the Sch A.
Maybe. The norm appears to be report winnings, then report losses on the deduction page.
But, this article talks about SESSION numbers instead.
You can follow the tax court's assumptions to net the daily win/loss method however be prepared to defend that choice in tax court if you do not enter all of the reported gambling winnings on the tax return. Yes you can win with that argument but is the cost and hassle worth it to defend your position ?
