Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Thank you. I was hoping maybe PA updated its allowance on expenses such as travel since it was just recently allowed by the IRS. But it appears that PA hasn’t made any updates since the link that you posted in your reply. I still don’t really see where PA disallows session gambling as a way to report wins. If, for example, someone is playing online and puts $100 in, loses $90, then hits for $1200 then plays off all of their points except for the $100 and cashed out, they technically broke even. This was one session and they really didn’t win anything. Sad thing is they will get a w2g for the $1200. Using the session gambling strategy they don’t have to report that $1200 win on their federal taxes and and would need to include form 8275. I was hoping that PA would also accept this session gambling way to report the wins.
