Rep. Horsford introduced the FULL HOUSE Act with Rep. Max Miller (R-OH), a bipartisan bill to restore the long-standing rule allowing gamers to deduct 100 percent of their losses against their winnings.

Horsford supports restoring full deductibility of gambling losses against winnings.

Evidence

"The amount of losses you deduct can't be more than the amount of gambling income you reported on your return."

The IRS's current official guidance, reviewed on June 11, 2026, still allows gamblers who itemize to deduct losses up to the amount of winnings. That is full deduction against winnings, so the policy claim is satisfied in current federal practice.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

The promised outcome is not currently secured in federal law. Although an IRS topic page still stated in June 2026 that losses can be deducted up to winnings, the more recent federal tax change that took effect for 2026 reduced the deduction to 90% of winnings, so full deduction against winnings is no longer the operative rule. Horsford appears to have supported repeal or restoration efforts as a House cosponsor, which shows a serious legislative attempt, but he did not deliver enactment of the promised outcome. Under the candidate-credit rule, that is a failed effort rather than full or partial delivery.
