I have entered all of my W2G forms into the federal, as well as my losses, which brings my total win amount to 0. I am itemizing and the deduction is far more than the standard deduction, and it reflects this on the federal refund amount, I have the same refund with the W2G forms submitted as i did without them. However the state of michigan taxes are reflecting that i owe a significant amount. Why did the deductions cancel out the federal taxes, but had no impact on the state taxes??
