We live in Texas, and won some gambling money in Louisiana. I added the winnings to the Texas federal from W2g. Now it is trying to make me enter it as income in LA. ?

How much did you win and did they withhold LA taxes from your winnings?

$1724.00 and state tax was deducted from that amount I received a form W-2G from the casino

It was income from LA and you will need to file a LA return.

(You may get a refund of some of the tax they withheld).

From the LA DOR website:

Any nonresident with income (winnings) from Louisiana sources who is required to file a federal individual income tax return must file a Louisiana return reporting income earned. If the amount withheld is overpaid, a refund of the difference will be issued or credited.
