How do I bring up form W2G? The search says how to find it but it doesn't work

Gambling losses can only be deducted up to the amount of the gambling winnings.
Gambling winnings are reported on Form 1040 Schedule 1 on Line 8b. The amount from Part I of Schedule 1 Line 10 flows to Form 1040 Line 8.
Gambling Losses are reported on Form 1040 Schedule A as a Other Itemized Deductions. Gambling losses are not a one-for-one reduction in winnings. Your total itemized deductions reported on Form 1040 Schedule A must be greater than the standard deduction for your filing status to have any tax benefit.


To enter, edit or delete Gambling Winnings and Losses -

Click on Federal Taxes (Personal using Home and Business)
Click on Wages and Income (Personal Income using Home and Business)
Click on I'll choose what I work on (if shown)
Scroll down to Less Common Income
On Prizes, Awards, and Gambling Winnings, click the start or update button


Or enter w2g in the Search box in the upper right of the program screen. Click on Jump to w2g

To enter income from a W-2G in TurboTax online, you can use the magnifying glass to search for W2G (no spaces or hyphens) and click on the jump to w2g link.

 

Alternately, on the Your income an expenses screen:

- click on Add more income

- scroll down to less common income

- click on Start next to gambling income
