My return was rejected as well.
I have a large amount won as a prize, but I had to play slots in order to obtain "entries" or tickets for the prize drawing. I attempted to list my slot losses in the proper area to offset the Prize. My return was rejected because I did not have a W-2G to claim the deduction amount. I did not get any W2-Gs during the year, I only have the 1099-misc for the prize drawing. This appears to be a flaw in the Turbo Tax software. From what I have read here, I should be able to claim or deduct my losses in Slots to reduce the taxable amount of my prize. Comments?
