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.

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.
