Did not include W5 on 2016 return already filed

Did not find gambling winnings on TurboTax's other section.

Gambling winnings go in the Less Common Income section which is the bottom category underneath the Wages and Income tab.  It should be the 2nd one under the Less Common Income.  This is on a W2-G.

The W-5 is for advanced Earned Income tax credit and this form does not get entered in TurboTax as this is given to the employer.  The W-2 when entered already reflects this information.
