It is likely that the casino withheld 25% of your winnings for your federal taxes before giving you your check. I am not sure but it looks like Louisiana has casinos withhold 5% of the prize for state taxes.

Federal withholding is found in box 4 of the W-2G that you received from the casino. Louisiana withholding is found in box 15 on the W-2G.

I suggest that you delete the W-2G and add it...TurboTax seems to have a spurious number. You may want to delete and re-add Louisiana after you do this, to refresh the state.
