Can I claim losing Lottery tickets and where do I put the information

You can enter your gambling losses where you enter your gambling winnings, because gambling losses are only deductible up to the amount of winnings, and only if you itemize.  You can get to the gambling income section of TurboTax here:

  • Select Federal Taxes (Personal if using TurboTax Self-Employed or Home and Business)
  • Select Wages & Income (I'll choose what i work on)
  • You may need to click on Skip to see all income
  • Scroll down to Less Common Income
  • Click on Show more and Gambling Income
  • Start or Update

You can then go through the TurboTax interview to input your Gambling winnings and losses.
