In general, gambling losses can only be used as deductions to offset gambling winnings. If you report gambling income of $1000, but you had to buy $500 worth of lotto tickets to get that $1000, then you can probably deduct the full $500. If, however, you spent the same amount but only report $300 of winnings, then you could only deduct $300. If you don't report any gambling winnings, you can't deduct anything. Because the consequences of getting this wrong can be substantial, you are strongly encouraged to consult a local tax professional.
