Solution provided by a tax expert in the intuit community page (for Turbo Tax online):
It depends. I think I may have a solution for your dilemma. Before we begin though, delete your previous 1099-MISC entry into your program. To report.
- Federal>wages and income
- less common income>show more
- Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C>start
- Other reportable income>start
- Answer yes to the first screen
- Next will be a dialog box asking for the description of the income. Type in 1099-Misc for gambling winnings. Record the amount of income that is listed on the 1099-Misc.
- After you make this entry and press continue. This will take you to a summary screen. Here select add another miscellaneous Income Item
- Here you will first describe this as Gambling Losses that offset my Gambling winnings. You will enter this number as a negative number such as -xxxx.xx.
- Caution do not enter an amount of gambling losses in excess of your winnings. Also, if you entered gambling losses elsewhere in your return like from a W2G, be careful not to duplicate these losses against other losses you may have already claimed.
