Honestly it's partially my fault, a bunch of tickets in the $600-$1000 range on my NYRA account that I hadn't even written down to remember because I hardly consider playing a $2 50 combination pick 3 for $100 and hitting for $650 a 'windfall'... so I failed to report them as gains then written off, but basically it added up to about $10k and they are holding my '08 tax return until i refile for '06 and '07. Thankfully they will work with me to locate all the records I need.
If nothing else it will eliminate needless paperwork like this and the truly unfair methodology which increases your gross income then takes the losses as deductions.
