"Statements" are not IRS forms. They are additional sheets of paper used
when there is not enough room on the IRS form to write all the information.
If there is enough room to write "Gambling winnings" on line 21 and you have
no other income, you would not need to attach a statement.

Subject: [vpFREE] Turbo Tax gambling question
I have been using Turbo Tax for years. Normally on line 21 it would refer to
other income form. This would show the total of your W-2's from casinos,
your 1099's and the the gross gambling winnings above those amounts. This
year it is just indicated on the 1040 by Turbo Tax line 21 just says
gambling winnings the gross total of all combined but no other income form
to be attached. I have tried printing it from the worksheets but it won't
let you do it. Is the Other Income form necessary. I don't know why Turbo
Tax would change something it was doing for years unless the IRS no longer
deems the other income statement not needed.
