If you did not receive a W2-G from the Casino which would have the State Payer ID, you would not complete a W2G in TurboTax.
To enter your gambling winnings in TurboTax Deluxe:
- Choose Federal Taxes tab
- Wages & Income
- Less Common Income
- Show more if necessary
- Select Gambling winnings
- Skip W2G
- In the California return:
- California lottery select No
- Read the loss adjustment and answer if necessary for your situation
- Follow the prompts to finish your return.
Based on the steps shown there is no requirement for a State ID entry so this should help you move through the return without issue.
