The drop down box does not have Nevada and that is where the money was won? So what do I do?
Nevada does not have income tax. Since your winnings are in a state that does not have a state income tax, you will not need to enter any state information. In this case, you will leave all the information in boxes 13-18 blank.
If Nevada is not your home state, you must claim the winnings in your home state.
If Turbo Tax will not allow you to file your return without the state id number, use the payer federal identification listed above. otherwise, leave it blank.
