2023 TurboTax Tax Payments Worksheet LN 20 State Total Tax Payments = $14,081 which is correct. SCH A LN H State Taxes shows $140,605 which = over 10 times actual. Why?

SCH A Itemized Deductions shows $140,605 LN 5a but LN e limits it to $10,000 so the 10X State Tax figure has no impact on 1040 but is concerning.

Sounds like you made a mistake and misplaced a decimal or added zeros when you entered state income and state tax withheld from boxes 16 and 17 of your W-2's.   Go back and check you entries for W-2's---especially from box 17.

Even though it doesn't affect 1040 Schedule A it might affect your state tax return especially if it's from withholding in W2 box 17 or a 1099 box 4.  You need to track it down.

Thanks for the swift replies.  Sometimes TurboTax wouldn't respond when I was in Forms and tried to follow the Data Source.  I had to go back to Step-By-Step and then re-enter Forms.  I tracked down the source.  My W2 has two entries in Box 14.  It could be that my employer is entering this information incorrectly or TurboTax is misinterpreting the entry.
