My husband got a W-2G from another state. He had won on a scratch off lottery ticket. Do I also have to file a tax return for that state? We live in PA and the money was won in FL.

You need to do the following to file your lottery winnings:

1. Open (continue) your return in TurboTax.
2. In the search box search W2G and then click the "Jump to " link in the search results.
3. Answer yes on the gambling winnings screen and follow the onscreen instructions to enter your W2 form.
