Gambling Winnings from Cruise Ship

Last year, while on a cruise, I hit a jackpot on a slot machine in the ship's casino. It was a Carnival ship, and they mailed me out a W-2. I know to claim it on my return. But this year, Turbo Tax is asking me if I had any income in any state besides Pennsylvania (which is where I live).

At the time I won the jackpot, the ship was en route from Amber Cove (Dominican Rep.) to Grand Turk, and obviously, that response is not given in the drop-down menu. How do I answer that?

Select "No" you did not earn that income in another state. It was earned as a resident of PA. There should not be any other states listed on the W2G.

OK, thanks. I'll just have to include it on my PA return. Have a great day.
