The Las Vegas-based agent's request (which includes many other items
unrelated to gambling) says:
"Gambling diary with all supporting documentation, such as cancelled
checks, ATM withdrawals, credit card advances, casino markers, race
or keno tickets, and letter from casino stating wins, losses and type
of gambling activities in 2006."
This would appear to me to be boilerplate.
Does anyone have first-hand experience with an audit of these items?
Thanks!
