On New Year's day I bought gambling slot machine cards and I won $50,000. I have a record of spending $1,450 on slots on New Year's Day 2023. How can I deduct the gambling expenses from the gambling winnings on the same day? I have a W-2G

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.
