Jean is correct in saying you should attach a note to your return. In this
instance, the W2-G total is less than the total winnings entered on pg 1 of
the return. To file a return without the note would send up a red flag.
Thus, next to the line on page one of the return, you should write "see
statement 1," and then include the supporting schedule with the return. If
you do not do this, the return may be kicked out for a "desk audit" because
the W2-G amount is less, and you will get a letter. You will then need to
explain. It is best to avoid this.

Judy, you've really got me confused. I thought the original post said that
if the W-2G total was more than the total winnings, the discrepancy would
trigger a red flag. But now you're saying a red flag would be triggered if it's
less?
Please tell me you misspoke or explain in simple terms what I did not
understand.
Also would like to know your definition of "session" even though IRS is not
clear on this.
Thanks,
Glenn
