I won money from Texas Lottery ticket and the Texas Lotto sent me the gambling form to enter in my tax return, but I have missplaced it. What should I do?

Should I enter the approximate amount, but in Turbo Tax it asks for detailed info to fill in to get from the form that they mailed me from the Texas Lotto.

Gambling winnings are generally reported on a W-2G from the state. Contact the Texas Lottery at www.txlottery.org or (800) 375-6886, for a copy of the form.

While you wait on the copy, you can enter the approximate winnings without the form. 'Skip W-2G' is an option when you first navigate to the section. If you have already brought the form up, continue until you reach the summary page and delete.

Path:

• Select Federal Taxes
• Wages & Income
• Less Common Income
• Gambling Winnings
