Thank you for the reply. I understand the ability to offset gambling winnings with losses etc. The problem is since the winning were reported on a 1099-Misc. they have to be reported in the "other" income section or the automated IRS cross check will think I didn't report the income correct?
The W-2G section where it actually lets you claim a gambling loss won't let me do that because the income was reported in the 1099-Misc section and not in the W-2G section. The deduction section won't let me deduct a gambling loss from another income section.
