Sch A Line 16 for W2G Gambling Losses in SureFire

---

📊 Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Enter a single item (if applicable)

If you have only one item to list on this line and there is no supporting form on which to enter it, then enter the type of deduction in the Type field and the amount in the Amount field.

Step 2: Link to the statement when required

If either of the following applies, you must link to the NEW Other Deducts - Schedule A Line 16 Other Deductions statement from the Type or Amount field and enter all items on the statement:

Note:

The expense type can only be the following and must be spelled exactly as it appears and is case sensitive:

• SCHEDULE K-1
• Form 4684
• Form 4797
• Form 2106
• W2G losses

Step 3: Understand what SureFire calculates if you are not using the statement

If you are not using the statement, SureFire calculates the following amounts to the ***Amount field:

• Gambling losses that you enter on Form W-2G, but not more than the amount of gambling winnings reported in box 1 of Form W-2G.
• Casualty and theft losses of income-producing property from Form 4684, lines 35 and 41b, or Form 4797, line 18a.
• Federal estate tax on income in respect of a decedent from the Beneficiary's K-1 worksheet.
• Other deductions, portfolio, from the Partners and Shareholders K-1 worksheet.
• Impairment-related work expenses of a disabled person from Form 2106 or 2106-EZ.

For more details on these and other deductions not subject to the 2% limit, see Publication 529, Miscellaneous Deductions.

Step 4: Manually enter amounts if you are using the statement

If you are using the statement, you must manually enter on the statement each amount from supporting forms. Otherwise, they are not included on line 28.
