Where do I enter gambling losses in the Turbo Tax program for 2017 (specifically)?

 I  am Itemizing. I originally filed the return last year "2018" & had to Pay $$$ because I couldn't find it then. I'm trying to refile & have read many suggestions but still cannot enter losses?

Miscellaneous deductions don't allow it.

Get your taxes done using TurboTax


To enter the W-2G  or other documents For your Gambling winnings--Go to Federal>Wages & Income>Less Common Income>Gambling Winnings

You can enter your winnings, and then keep clicking through the interview to enter gambling losses.

Losses are an itemized deduction.  If you do not have enough itemized deductions to exceed your standard deduction, your losses will have no effect.
