Wisconsin doesn't allow a full year net loss deduction. They require losses to be documented per Gambling Session, meaning, a continuous duration of gambling. So I document each Session, but I'm not sure where to enter the Session losses in Turbo Tax, on the Wisconsin State return.

Losses from lottery are not permitted as a deduction on the Wisconsin return. Please see Pub 600 (page 4, Section E) for additional information.

I wasn't asking about a deduction. I'm asking about reducing my taxable income by the amount of the losses incurred after each gambling session, which is absolutely allowed for Wisconsin. But there is nowhere in TurboTax (that I have found) to enter those session wins/losses.

Enter all of your gambling winnings and losses on the federal return (even if you are taking the standard deduction) and TurboTax will transfer the info to your state return. Then on your state return, you make adjustments if necessary.

Search for gambling losses in the Search bar, then use the Jump to link to get to that section in the federal interview. After you enter the information about your winnings, you will asked about losses. After recorded on the federal return, you go can back to your WI return.
