Thanks for the feedback and yes it can be convoluted.
I understand the IRS decided to use the -10,200 as an offset to unemployment earnings, however I had $1000 in gambling winnings offset by gambling losses of $1000 - NET $0. Even on the WAGES & INCOME SCREEN they list Gambling Winnings as ZERO.
Then on the FINAL REVIEW SCREEN it shows a -9,200 Other Income which I am assuming is the unemployment exemption less another $1,000. It appears to me that I had to have $1000 in gambling losses and forfeit $1000 of the unemployment exemption to offset the $1000 gambling win. This can't be right.
I will just pay the extra taxes on the extra $1000 in income calculated by TurboTax and ask the IRS later why it is being handled this way. Thanks again!
