"Tax Help for the Frugal Gambler"
by Jean Scott and Marissa Chien, EA
This book covers all the subjects that face gamblers when they

need to.
This books gives a multitude of details that will make taxes a little
less taxing for both the casual recreational gambler as well as the
gambling professional. Sample filled-out tax forms and IRS regulations
are included in the Appendix.
Here is a brief summary of the table of contents...
