Previously, the IRS sent me a letter stating I had incorrectly
filed my taxes because my gambling income did not match
my W-2G total. I sent them a printout from my spreadsheet
based gambling log. After a couple of phone conversations
they accepted my tax form as filed. They never mentioned
that they had any problem with my spreadsheet based gambling
log. I do have a paper backup of sorts. It is composed of
many small pieces of paper with rather cryptic notes to augment
my memory.

G'luck all,
Gamb00ler
