You may deduct gambling losses only if you itemize deductions. Claim your gambling losses as a miscellaneous deduction that is not subject to the 2% limit on Form 1040, Schedule A. However, the amount of losses you deduct may not be more than the amount of gambling income reported on your return. It is important to keep an accurate diary or similar record of your gambling winnings and losses. To deduct your losses, you must be able to provide receipts, tickets, statements or other records that show the amount of both your winnings and losses.

Go to the IRS gov web site and use the search box for Publication 529, Miscellaneous Deductions, for more
