Green’s gambling activities do not qualify as a trade or business, can he deduct his gambling-related travel and lodging expenses against his gambling winnings? Applicable Case Law, Code & Regulations Per Section 165(d) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), a taxpayer may deduct their gambling losses to the extent of their gambling winnings.
