I had won gambling money in 2016; however, the place I won it from has not sent my W2G and I have tried to connect with them with no luck. Can i just enter my dollar amount for my winnings without a W2G?

Yes, you can do that. To enter your gambling winnings in Turbo Tax, follow these steps:

• Log into your tax return.
• Using the search box in the upper right hand corner, type in "w2g" and press enter.
• This will bring up the "Jump to gambling winnings on w2g" link...click that link.
• Click the "Skip W-2G" button.
• Click the "Yes" button to indicate that you have gambling winnings that were not reported on a W-2G.
• Enter your gambling your income on this screen and click continue.
• Enter you gambling losses (which can not exceed your gambling earnings) and click continue.
