I was studying the Mass. state tax instructions. They specifically deny the deduction of gambling losses that you can deduct on Schedule A (Federal). Do you have to designate yourself as a gambling pro in order to deduct any of your losing sessions in Massachusetts?

Massachusetts? Tax laws never make sense under socialist governments. Get rid of Kennedy or move to a "free market" state.

If you a single, full time online pro, you could move to Wyoming. They have no state income tax. I think there are a few other states with no state income tax, too.

Doesn't Alaska essentially pay you to live there? Establish residency there and then just live on the road. Follow the fishes - just go, man!
