How did you all determine this? I thought a day would be an appropriate measure, but when looking through PT, I couldn't find out how to filter it in this way. Any help would be appreciated. thanks.

Export your sessions to a .CSV file, and open it in Excel. Then group them by whatever you want to call your session. (Someone in the software forum may have come up with a program to do this.)

BTW, if you happen to get audited (low priority risk), if in a day you play in the afternoon, take a few hours break, and then play again in the evening, you may have a hard time convincing the IRS that is the same session.

I posted a question earlier asking how people calculated taxes using PT. This answer was given, but I have absolutely no idea how to do what he suggested. I don't even know what a .CSV file is. Can anyone help? thanks.
