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.

I agree. I did my mom's return and when I submitted the return it said she was getting $ back, but the IRS re-did it and she has to pay because here gambling winnings made her social Security taxable. I'm a bit upset because Turbo Tax did not pick it up when I submitted the return! I mean shes 90+ and really it appeared she was getting a little bit back, but she ended up having to pay afterall.
