If you have lawsuit winnings that are taxable, you must use Form 1040. You can't use Form 1040A. Lawsuit settlements that compensate you for physical injuries/sickness from an accident aren't taxable. Punitive damages and damages for nonphysical injuries are usually taxable.
Taxable lawsuit winnings are entered on line 21-Other Income in the Income Section on page 1 of Form 1040. Be sure to check whether your legal expenses for winning your lawsuit are deductible. Legal expenses for nontaxable winnings aren't deductible.
But legal expenses for taxable winnings can be claimed on line 23-Other Expenses of the Job Expenses and Certain Miscellaneous Deductions of Schedule A (Itemized Deductions). If the total of those expenses plus any other expenses in the Job/Miscellaneous Section exceed 2 percent (.02) of your adjusted gross income (AGI), then the amount over 2 percent is deductible.
Form 1040A is only used for specified types of income. One, wages, salaries, tips. Two, interest and ordinary dividends. Three, capital gain distributions. Four, taxable scholarships/fellowships. Five, pensions, annuities, and IRAs. Six, unemployment compensation. Seven, taxable social security and railroad retirement benefits. Eight, Alaska Permanent Fund dividends.

Why do you have to pay tax on casino winnings when you are likely going to put it all back into the casino and then some?
It's considered a source of income and therefore taxable. The person choosing to continue gambling with that income and perhaps losing it, is not relevent as far as the IRS is concerned. Moreover, your getting ahead of yourself in the accounting....if you sit and the table and lose....you don't have to have any tax withheld as you won't pay any. And if you win one day, and lose the next, the amount of the loss IS able to be taken against the income from the winnings...so you don't pay tax only on winnings...but NET winnings.
