I have a number of W2G's that I need to type in the data. The form in Turbo Tax that comes up is a standard W2...not the same as a W2G. Where or how can I get a W2G format so I can input my data?

And you have to be able to itemize deductions on Schedule A to deduct the loss. Most people are now taking the Standard Deduction.
