Thanks s SweetieJean...I don't want to claim my losses, I just want to claim the taxes I paid.

When you enter the W-2G showing the winnings, you enter the tax withholding amounts at the same time. You get credit for the amount withheld on your tax return just as you would for taxes withheld on a W-2 for income.
