For gambling winnings in MA, where do I find Schedule X in Turbo Tax? It says I can't enter losses in Schedule Y unless I hve winnings in Schedule X.

In Massachusetts, gambling losses can only be deducted up to the amount of your reported gambling winnings. You must first report all your gambling winnings on Schedule X. Only then can you enter your gambling losses on Schedule Y, and the losses can't exceed your winnings.

 

Make sure your gambling are properly reported on your Federal return. This should flow properly to your state tax return.

 

To enter your gambling winnings in TurboTax Online you will do as follows:

  1. Click on "Wages & Income"
  2. Scroll down the page to "Less Common Income"
  3. Click the (down-facing) caret next to "Less Common Income"
  4. Click on "Start" next to "Gambling Winnings"

 

When you enter your gambling winnings in TurboTax, the interview will also ask you questions regarding gambling losses, after you input your gambling winnings. Your gambling losses will flow to your state return. Your state may have different rules for gambling losses.
