Error report: 2025 contribution level for 401(k) is wrong, still shows 2024 limit

Unless I'm reading this wrong, the 2025 limit is still showing the 2024 numbers.  To wit:

 

The 2025 max 401k contribution limit is $23,500 employEE contribution + $46,500 employER contribution for total of $70,000.  Plus, an additional catchup of $7,500 for those age 50-59. 

 

I enter this information and then get told we "can defer a maximum of $30,500 to a 401(k) plan" - not the $31,000 that is allowed in 2025.

 

On a later screen, it says "Maximum allowed to qualified plans: $76,500".  And not the $77,500 that is allowed in 2025 (for those age 50-59).

 

While it let me enter my correct/actual numbers for 2025 (which total $77,500), it is only giving me a deduction of $76,500.

 

Can someone at TurboTax please investigate and address this?

Recent software updates have fixed these issues, so you should be good to go.
