Deductions & credits

@jglmac - so what I gather is that - at a minimum  - you had a winnings of $1880 and you had losses of $2132. 

 

The winnings may be higher based on your records, but let's keep it simple

 

The $1880 is reportable as income on Form 1040. 

The $2132 can be reported as an itemized deduction on schedule A; however, it can not exceed $1880. (net losses are personal losses and not tax-deductible)

 

if you take the standard deduction, yes, that does mean you have to report the $1880 of wins and get no benefit of the losses.
