Error on line 4 of Student Loan Interest Deduction Worksheet?

Line 4 of the student loan interest deduction worksheet states: enter $80,000 if filing single, BUT automatically  populated the field with $85,000. 

If I override the field to enter $80,000, the return will not process.

Which is the correct number?

It turns out the end result is the same in my case, but it does not make sense unless I'm missing something.

    The correct amount for 2025 is $85,000. The calculation is correct. The phaseout range is adjusted for inflation every year. TurboTax correctly updated the amount used in the calculation, but neglected to update the text on the worksheet.
