Our tax CPA pushed back hard when I told him that we needed to report gross wins and losses, and also when I told him that I had >$5,000 in net winnings and no W-2G. He told me that he had never had a client report any gambling winnings unless they were straight from a W-2G.

A note to winning poker players: It pays to get a CPA that actually knows what the IRS rules are. Seriously. It's not their ass when the [censored] hits the fan....it's yours.
