You will have to amend your 2020 federal tax return to report the gambling winnings and losses.
See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a 2020 tax return originally completed and filed using TurboTax - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/tax-return/amend-2020-return/L3XdA1Pw8_U...
Gambling winnings are reported on a tax return as ordinary income. Gambling losses are reported as a Miscellaneous Itemized Deduction on Schedule A. You DO NOT subtract your losses from your winnings when reporting your winnings on a tax return.
If the total of all itemized deductions on Schedule A are less than the Standard Deduction for your filing status then Schedule A will not be used for deductions.

@k.arquines - I assume you have already filed 2020 and need to amend...
suggest looking at your transcript at IRS.GOV because I imagine it was reported by the Sports Book so you want to make sure what you report equals or exceeds what they reported on Form 1099-G. These will get added to income on the amendement form.
with respect to losses, they are reported as an itemized deduction and cannot exceed the winnings; if you take the standard deduction, none of the losses are deductible.
