What is the maximum gambling loss deduction?

There's no such AGI limit on gambling loss deductions. However, your annual losses are deductible only up to the amount of your winnings. For example, say that you incur $10,000 in gambling losses and pull down $7,500 in winnings in 2022. In that case, your gambling loss deduction is limited to $7,500.

Background : Prior to the TCJA, miscellaneous expenses were deductible only to the extent that the total for the year exceeded 2% of your adjusted gross income (AGI), Therefore, if you had an AGI of $100,000 and $2,500 in miscellaneous expenses, you could deduct $500. That being said, a special limit applies to gambling loss deductions. Furthermore, you must keep detailed records to back up your claims. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA), enacted at the end of 2017, suspends certain deductions for 2018 through 2025. For example, you can’t currently deduct any miscellaneous expenses, including unreimbursed employee business expenses and production-of-income expenses. But one other type of expense that is sometimes thought to be a miscellaneous expense is still deductible by itemizers: gambling losses. There’s no such AGI limit on gambling loss deductions. However, your annual losses are deductible only up to the amount of your winnings. For example, say that you incur $10,000 in gambling losses and pull down $7,500 in winnings in 2022. In that case, your gambling loss deduction is limited to $7,500. Conversely, if you have $5,000 in losses, you can write off the entire $5,000. The IRS takes a broad view of what constitutes a gambling activity. This isn’t restricted to betting on the racetrack or dog track or high stakes at the casinos, although those count, too. It also encompasses lotteries, raffles, keno, poker games, sports wagering and the like—even bingo at the local church! What sort of records do you have to keep? This may vary slightly, depending on the type of gambling activity, but generally the IRS expects you to keep track of the following:

The date and type of gambling you engage in;

The name and address of the places where you gamble;

The individuals you gambled with; and, most important;

The amount of your winnings and loses.

The supporting documentation for gambling loss deductions may include Form W-2G; Form 5754; wagering tickets; canceled checks or credit card statements; and receipts from the gambling source. Of course, you can write off gambling losses only if you itemize deductions. In other words, if you opt for the standard deduction instead, you get no deduction, regardless of the amount of income and losses. Note that gambling income may also be subject to state and local taxes. Finally, you might have an ace up your sleeve. If gambling is legitimately your livelihood, you can report winnings and losses from such activities on Schedule C as a self-employed individual, but you can’t claim an overall loss. And you may also be entitled to write-offs for certain travel expenses and other costs (e.g., subscriptions to gambling magazines) as ordinary and necessary business expenses. Plus, the value of complimentary rooms, vacations, and other gifts from casinos is treated as taxable income, but may be offset by losses from gambling activities. Caution: The IRS is often suspicious of such claims, so tread carefully. Only play this card when you have a winning hand.
