    To enter the W-2G  or other documents For your Gambling winnings--Go to Federal>Wages & Income>Less Common Income>Gambling Winnings

    You can enter your winnings, and then keep clicking through the interview to enter gambling losses.

    Gambling winnings are taxable income.  Losses are an itemized deduction.  If you do not have enough itemized deductions to exceed your standard deduction, your losses will have no effect.

    Thanks, however I have entered my winnings.  I chose Itemized deductions but I don't where to enter Gambling losses.

    In prior years, under Other Deductions and Credits, there was a line item for losses.  I don't see it.

    @KGB3 After you enter your winnings you have to keep going through the screens to enter losses.   Again----if you do not have enough  itemized deductions to exceed your standard deduction the losses have NO effect.
