The best way to avoid an audit is to go with the simplest return. Report all your W-2Gs and report your losses on Schedule A and you have a very low risk of an audit.
If you try the Schedule C professional gambler return or the session method you will greatly increase your chance of an audit. Even if your return is correct and you use an enrolled agent you may have a long battle with the IRS. If you are not Jean Scott or Rob Singer you may have a very unpleasant experience.
Good Luck with your tax return!
