KJ, did you misunderstand?

Nowhere did I ask that you provide or post your tax returns, that would be asinine.

I asked only that you verify that you claimed your winnings offset by losses in the required legal manner.

I assumed that you'd file an individual return and that you'd file a schedule C to reflect your grambling income and expenses.

You say your tax guy has done it different ways: what ways are you referring to?

I could care less about the specifics of your filings, but their nature is what I'd like to know about.

Hell, prior to Trump's overhaul of the tax code even I, a lowly recreational gambler, reported gambling income on my 1040 and reported losses on my Schedule A.

What do you pros do, generally speaking, or do you feel uncomfortable / out of your element discussing tax-related matters?

No, I'm not looking for a "gotcha" moment, other than had you never filed it would be "case closed."
