The locality name on my W-2 G for gambling winnings is blank, what do I put in this box?

If your W2-G is blank, you can leave line 13 blank.  For Line 18, click learn more and choose the locality listed for the casino the W2-G is for.  If the locality is not listed, you can put XXX in box 18.

The locality name on my W-2 G for gambling winnings is blank, what do I put in this box?

@BrittanyS  - Thank you for the help.  As you can see in #13, they only put a "0." For #13 in turbotax, should I leave State blank and then "0" for the payer's state ID? Here's a pic of that section. img20230325_16095780.jpg

 

 

Thank you for the tip on locality. I'm in FL, so it says to enter XXX as you suggested.

I'm assuming you did not have any state taxes withheld.  If not, I would not enter anything for the state nor the state ID box 13.  Although, it has a zero listed, I would leave it blank.  You will need to leave XXX in the locality box.
