You report gambling winnings as other income on line 21 of Form 1040, but you must itemize to deduct losing bets. If you have few other expenses to claim on Schedule A, it probably won't be worth sacrificing your standard deduction amount just to limit or erase your taxable winnings. Do the math to make sure.
Limitations on loss deductions. The amount of gambling losses you can deduct can never exceed the winnings you report as income. For example, if you have $5,000 in winnings but $8,000 in losses, your deduction is limited to $5,000.
