Default Re: Tax return question

Would it be problematic to simply declare your profit as income, and list no losses as a deduction?

IRS publication 529 specifically forbids reporting the net of wins and losses as income. All wins must be reported as income on form 1040 and all losses must be reported as an itemized deduction on Schedule A.
