See this tax tips article for more information on reporting gambling winnings with TurboTax.
You're required to report all gambling winnings—including the fair market value of noncash prizes you win—as “other income” on your tax return.
- You can’t subtract the cost of a wager from your winnings. However, you can claim your gambling losses as a tax deduction if you itemize your deductions.
- Your deductions for gambling losses can’t exceed the gambling income you claimed. You can’t use gambling losses to reduce your other taxable income.
