I just dug through the PT forums (tired of waiting for pshabi to do this for me), and found some interesting threads I will link to directly.
MOST of the threads are people requesting this exact feature, so:
A) it's not there yet
and
B) They are aware that people want it (Assuming they read their own forums).
Seems there is going to be a big difference in the numbers, depending on how a "session" is defined. Damn the IRS for their goofy outdated laws.
Some threads worth looking at...
1. This guy grossed 3k.... you know, 123k win and 120k loss:
That blew his gross income through the roof, moving him up quite in bit in the tax brackets. I still don't think this can be right, and need to look into it more.
2. A useful looking SQL query:
3. A perl script posts on 2+2 with some more discussion:
4. And of course, as per the IRS:
5. More discussion, including interpretation of the IRS's pain in the ass requirements:
What a freaking mess. The thing that gets me is I'll bet 90%+ of online players don't report ANYTHING.... and meanwhile, the guys who do try to be honest not only get screwed financially, but also have to deal with all this crap and potentially more headaches from the IRS.
