I can create an entry for the $100 political contribution credit however TurboTax Deluxe Desktop will not allow me the full $200 credit that the Arkansas SB57 made into law on 1/1/2025. How do I override that $100 limit? TurboTax needs to fix this bug. Per SB57, approved during the 95th General Assembly of the Arkansas legislature, the political contribution limit for a couple was raised from $100 to $200. How do I make them aware of this bug in their software?

The credit is limited to $50 per taxpayer or $100 for a joint return: the following comes from the instructions for Form AR1000TC:

"Line 1: A credit of up to $50.00 per taxpayer ($100.00 for a joint return) is allowed against your Arkansas Individual income tax liability for cash contributions made by the taxpayer(s) to one of the following:

A candidate seeking nomination or election to a public office of to the candidate's campaign committee . . .

. . . The contribution must be made by April 15, 2026 to be claimed on a 2025 tax return"

Here is a link for Arkansas tax forms . You can scroll down to 2025 Tax Year Forms, and look for AR1000TC Schedule of Tax credits and Business Incentive Credits to see the complete instructions.
