What are some good ways to prepare my taxes for next year to benefit myself? My brother told me I can claim the gas I use to get to and from work but I think that only pertains to if I had my own business as well as meals....What about gambling at the casino? you can tax that right but you would need receipts

You can't claim loses unless they off set winnings...for example you win $3000 and get issued a 1099, then you lose $1000 more at that casino later they can re-issue a 1099 for the amount of $2000.
