<prompt> Human: I live in Las Vegas and I was jobless in 2012. The little amount of money I came across, I would gamble. I got on a lucky streak and won a few jackpots that year 39,000 to be exact. I basically survived off gambling. That money came and went. The IRS said I owe them 3400. Is their anything I can do or provide to the IRS ATM withdrawals or bet tickets that shows this money was spent faster than it was won? I dont understand, I could win 1500 bucks and blow it on the same machine within an hour. Why cant I give the casino a form like a W2-G saying this machine screwed me out of 1500 bucks, im taxing you! Im frustrated and annoyed because as soon as I thought I was getting ahead by paying the IRS what I owe them in the last 2 years, I come to find out im back in the hole. Any advice would be helpful!  <response>: If youve lost money in slot machines our some tracked table games, you can get a winloss statement from the casino based on your players card number.You can use that as a deduction against your winnings as others have mentioned.
