Gambling records lost, any advice?

I kept detailed records of my gambling for tax purposes for the first half of the year on my Iphone. Unfortunately I lost a lot of these records when my Iphone was stolen and not recovered.

Is there any thing I can do (besides the obvious thing of transferring the records to my computer next time)?

I'd file a police report, if only to make a contemporaneous
declaration that you lost your records. Most casinos are cooperative
in telling me my coin in and coin out for any day I ask them about.

How detailed were these records? Do you anticipate needing them for an audit? If not, why worry?

I also use my iPhone for gambling records. I also use the iCloud
services to synchronize the Notes application to my desktop to
prevent loss of data due to hardware fault or loss of phone.

I urge smartphone users to ensure that important data is not
stored ONLY on your phone. Phones are often lost or can
fail unexpectedly. There are many methods to preserve your
data in these cases IF you take precautions ahead of time.

G'luck all,
