Are you entering the W-2G in the appropriate part of the interview for gambling income/loss? You should be in the Less Common Income section, and the subtopic "Gambling Winnings."
Here are the screens you should encounter in that section:
- "Did you win money or other prizes in 2024?"
- If yes, the next screen is "Did you receive a W-2G?"
- If yes, the next screen is "Let's get the details from your W-2G."
- After you enter the data from the W-2G, the next screen "may" say "Let's confirm the winner's address on your W-2G", or it may go directly to a screen "Review your W-2G info" where you can also add another W-2G, if needed.
- When you click DONE there, the next screen is "Let's check for winnings not reported on a W-2G."
- If "yes", then answer the additional boxes that appear appropriately. If that is "no", then the next screen is "Let us know if you had any gambling losses in 2024."
- Continue the rest of that interview.
