Anyone over 6 figures actually filing as a Pro?

Hi,

In years past gabbling had to be your primary income. Since at least one person has won that challenge in a tax court, however the IRS does not consider this a precedence and must be challenged on a case by case basis.

So this makes it very hard for someone to be a 'part time professional gambler', but someone sued and won this discintion, but the IRS digs in their heels and makes you prove it?

Or you can only be a 'part time professional gambler' if at one time you were a 'full time professional gambler'?

Or is there no way to be classifed as a 'part time professional gambler'?

Thanks,
