Yes.  If you have winnings from sports betting, you will need to report it to the IRS and to the state of VA.  Gambling/Betting income is taxable income even if you do not get a W2G.   To enter your gambling winnings and claim the losses that go with the winnings, you can select the following: Income Less common Income Prizes, Awards, and Gambling Winnings Say No, you did not receive a W2-G, hit next Enter your winnings Gambling losses are deductible up to 90% of the loss or the total winnings whichever is less, if you itemize your deductions.  So if you won $10,000 and lost $15,000, you would be able to claim up to $10,000 in itemized losses.  On the other hand if you lost $10,000 and won $15,000 you would only be able to deduct $9,000 as itemized losses.  Itemized expenses include  mortgage interest,  gambling losses up to 90% or up to winnings (whichever is less),   charitable contributions, state and local taxes up to $40,000, medical expenses in excess of 7.5% of your AGI and,  federally declared disaster casualty and losses in excess of 10% of you AGI with the first $100 not counting towards the loss.     Then your total itemized expenses would need to be greater than your standard deduction below in order to benefit from your expenses.    The 2025 Standard Deductions are as follows: Married Filing Joint (MFJ)              $31,500 Married Filing Separate (MFS)      $15,750 Head of Household (HOH)             $23,625  Single                                                 $15,750                                 Blind or over 65 and MFJ or MFS add $1,600 Single or HOH if blind or over 65 add $2.000
