I do my families taxes - in 2019 one son was online betting.  I received a summary of his activity (and am receiving a spreadsheet with each transaction).   In talking with the Casino their opinion is he did not have any reportable income.   The summary record is below - how do I enter the information into Turbotax (if at all)? 

SBWagers $21677

SBWinnings $20502

WinLoss -$1174.89

GamingDeposits $2003

GamingWithdrawals $669

Net Loss: -$1334.58

    SBWagers $21677   = money wagered

    SBWinnings $20502 = money won

    WinLoss -$1174.89 = net loss (21677-20502=1175)

    GamingDeposits $2003 = money wagered

    GamingWithdrawals $669 = money won

    Net Loss: -$1334.58 = net loss (2003-669=1334)

     

    i totally disagree that he had no reportable income or deductions. 

     

    winnings  20502 + 2003

    losses on schedule a limited to winnings  20502+2003

     

    you can not net winnings and losses.  winnings must be reported gross and losses are limited to winnings and are only deductible if one itemizes.

    I don't understand how there can be so much discrepancy on this!   Where should I get the definitive answer? 

    Thanks though, I appreciate your response.

    To add to the discussion, I asked for a W2G to be generated and they said they won't, he didn't qualify for one!
