What I would do is put all your information into Turbo Tax and go through the steps and let it plan it out for you. It is a very good tool.

Really? I was under the impression I couldn't write off losses from gambling from winning a free contest. Of course last year wound up being the year I was actually up on the year so I can't claim losses anyways. Naturally I'll wind up with big losses this year and won't win any contests to write them off against.
