Thanks for the info Jean,
From what i understand, in addition to being difficult to qualify for, filing as a professional gambler also raises a red flag in terms of an IRS audit.
While it will be a few more years before we can move (at least part of the year) to a nicer state, I'm looking for a creative way to file that will not increase my chances of an IRS audit. Private e-mails are fine.
thanks
Joel

I discuss this problem at length in "Tax Help for Gamblers." IF you can
qualify as a professional gambler (difficult but not impossible), that would
solve your problem. Otherwise, there is not anything you can do, short of
moving to a "nicer" state!!!!
