Gambling losses can only be deducted up to the amount of the gambling winnings. Gambling winnings are reported on Form 1040 Schedule 1 on Line 8b. The amount from Part I of Schedule 1 Line 10 flows to Form 1040 Line 8. Gambling Losses are reported on Form 1040 Schedule A as a Other Itemized Deductions. Gambling losses are not a one-for-one reduction in winnings. Your total itemized deductions reported on Form 1040 Schedule A must be greater than the standard deduction for your filing status to have any tax benefit.

@BadBrad Thanks for the added information, but it looks like you figured it out yourself!  Great job!   So yes, in instances where the 1099-R is missing state distribution information (which is very common), putting in the Box 2a taxable amount for the state distribution will take care of the error.

Same thing happened to me as I was checking out I was getting the $40 return and it changed it to $79. you can't see it until you pay. Then it says I couldn't change it once it was paid! I've used Turbo Tax for a lot of years but next year I will shop around and not tell anyone to try this product, NOT HAPPY!!!

First, check to see if you signed up for the TurboTax Refund Advance. You can look in a few specific places in your account or your email.    Check Your TurboTax Order Details On the Tax Home page, scroll down to the section for "Your tax returns & documents." Select View Order Details. Look for "Refund Advance" or "Credit Karma Money" listed under your payment and refund methods. If it’s not there, you likely selected a standard direct deposit or a different refund option.   Look for Confirmation Emails If you applied, you should have received automated emails from TurboTax and its partners. From TurboTax: Search for an email confirming your "Refund Selection." From Credit Karma: If you were approved, Credit Karma sends an email when the funds are deposited into your Credit Karma Money Spend account. From WebBank: If your application was denied, you will receive an email from WebBank (the lender) explaining the reason for the decline.   Check Your Credit Karma Money Account Because the Refund Advance is deposited into a Credit Karma Money™ Spend account, checking that account is the fastest way to see if the loan was processed. Log in to your Credit Karma account. Navigate to the Money tab. If you see a pending or completed deposit for a portion of your refund (typically between $250 and $4,000) shortly after the IRS accepted your return, that is your Refund Advance.   Review Your Tax Return Summary You can also find clues on your actual tax forms: Open your 2025 return in TurboTax Go to the Tax Tools menu on the left Select Print Center View your Federal Information Worksheet Look at the "Direct Deposit" section If you signed up for the advance, the bank account listed will be the MVB Bank account associated with Credit Karma, rather than your personal bank account.

Potential solution for those struggling with the first page of the K-1 being blank (same issue I had despite trying all workarounds):   I determined with one of the TT tax experts on the phone this weekend that if you're viewing the PDF without Adobe software (e.g., on browser view, on a Mac), it will show the first page blank, but all the other pages are fine. However, if you have Adobe software installed it will actually show the first page either in browser view or saved on your desktop. Further, when inspecting the e-file to the IRS with Adobe software the first K-1 page was not blank thankfully (but shows blank viewing on a computer without Adobe).   I hope this remediates your issues too as an immediate workaround or fallback! Either way, the outcome is unacceptable and TT needs to fix this.

The purpose of that question is to establish the basis in your Roth IRA in the event that you take a distribution from the account that may be taxable.  If you have not reached the age of 59 1/2 and the Roth IRA is not at least 5 years old, then the basis is needed to determine whether the distribution is a return of your contributions (basis) or not.   To learn more about qualified Roth IRA distributions, see the following information from the IRS:   Qualified Roth IRA Distributions
