Session result tracker

Use this as a field checklist before federal estimator or professional review. It is not a tax return.
Field group	Save	Boundary
Session log	Date, timezone, product type, operator/venue/platform, state/location note, buy-in, payout, fees and adjustment notes.	A session log organizes records; it does not decide deductions, itemization or filing position.
W-2G tracker	Form received yes/no/unknown, payer, amount, form mismatch note and current IRS source checked date.	Missing paperwork does not settle reporting questions.
Withholding tracker	Withholding shown yes/no/unknown, amount, receipt/form line and mismatch note.	Withholding shown is evidence, not final tax owed.
Texas Lottery flag	Ticket, claim form, payer, prize amount, claim date and Texas Lottery source note.	Lottery claim process does not answer online casino, sweeps or offshore claims.
Out-of-state source flag	Other state/venue, payer, withholding, statement and professional-review question.	Texas no personal income tax does not decide other-jurisdiction or federal records.
Crypto asset / chain / TXID	Asset, chain, TXID, USD value shown, timestamp, wallet/exchange statement and support trail.	A transfer rail is not a tax answer, legal approval or payout approval.
Support statement log	Ticket ID, support reply, exact wording, date and private-data redaction note.	Do not include SSN, card, bank, ID images, passwords, seed phrases or private keys.
CPA-ready summary	A short question list plus packet fields above.	This page prepares records for review; it does not prepare a return.

Quick answers

Is this a tax return?

No. It is a record packet template for organizing evidence before current IRS-source review or professional tax review.

Does this decide withholding sufficiency?

No. It saves withholding evidence only. It does not decide whether withholding was enough or whether more tax is due.

Does this prove Texas product legality?

No. Tax records and legal status are separate. Use Texas laws for product-lane checks.
