you need a CPA to clear this up for you cost less than 200 bucks a opposed to 6 grand and a lien

its impossible to know how he filed without looking at his return, but assuming he actually TYPED in all 18 W2G's, and all the correct info, and not just claimed the amount, then yes, it should zero out.

Saratogadew, if you want, PM me and we can discuss particulars, I'll do what I can when I can.

On what planet does a CPA cost only $200 for this amount of work? Its at least 8 hours, and around here they are $150-$300 a hour.

i passed the 22 hour 2.5 day CPA exam in 1981, after 17 years in private schools including 5 years at a world class university and have practiced as CPA for almost 35 years

on earth i could clear this up with a 30 minute review of the documents and a 30 minute phone call to the IRS on the practioners phone line..you need a couple of big macs to end the day

Thank you for your input. I do appreciate it. I know it is a mistake that they will clear up. Just to be clear:
I submitted all 18 w2's. 9 were hits from "on track". (Saratoga, Pimlico, Monmouth ect.)
9 were from TVG. I only claimed losses up to my winnings for all 18. Zeroed out.
The letter they sent me stated that I did not claim 9 W2's from PA Bets. These were the exact figures down to the penny that I claimed from TVG.
I will await their decision and get my accountant involved if they don't realize their mistake.
