My SALT deduction is limited to $10k on my Federal return (due to MAGI), but when filling out my CA return TurboTax incorrectly claims my Federal SALT deduction is $40k. This occurs in Column A of line 5e on Schedule CA. The instructions for the form (https://www.ftb.ca.gov/forms/2025/2025-540-ca-instructions.html) say: The federal deduction for state and local tax is limited to $40,000 ($20,000 for married filing separately) for the aggregate of state and local income taxes and property taxes. California does not conform. If your deduction was limited under federal law, enter an adjustment on line 5e, column C for the amount over the federal limit. While the text does mention $40k, the intent is pretty clear. I believe I should actually put $10k in Column A of line 5e, but I cannot change the value in TurboTax (even in forms mode). What should I do?
