Deductions & credits

You can not deduct more losses than what you won.  If you believe your W2-G numbers are inaccurate you should question them.  If you do not understand them you should have them explain them to you.

 

Here's where you enter Form W-2G (Certain Gambling Winnings) in TurboTax:

  • Open or continue your return in TurboTax, if you aren't already in it.
  • Search for W2G (don't include any hyphens) and select the Jump to link in the search results.
  • Answer Yes on the Did you win money or other prizes in 2022?

After you've finished entering all of your gambling winnings, we'll ask about any losses you may have had. Losses can be deducted up to the amount you reported winning, but only if you itemize.
