I am working on my 2025 individual Oklahoma state tax return and see that Turbotax is limiting the addback of my federal state income tax deduction on Schedule 511-D based on the $10,000 SALT cap that was in place last year. The OBBBA raised the SALT cap to $40,000 for 2025 (in my case), so I am not limited on my federal SALT deduction this year. As such, I would expect that the addback on Schedule 511-D would be my actual federal SALT deduction and not be limited by this $10,000 cap for state purposes. Is this an error in Turbotax or did Oklahoma decouple from the OBBBA in this regard? I'm using the desktop 2025 Turbotax Home and Business version on Windows, if that helps.

OK has a cap of $17,000 and my software is showing the correct cap. The schedule A from federal for charity and medical is not capped like the SALT.
See OK tax commission itemized deductions.
Please review your figures and the rules to see if you do have a problem and let us know what the issue is for us to help.
Thank you for taking the time to respond! I agree that Oklahoma has a $17,000 cap on itemized deductions. However, that is not the issue here. The issue I have is with OK Schedule 511-D Line 2 related to the addback of state and local income taxes. Turbotax is reporting a limited addback based on the prior year $10,000 SALT cap that was in place on the federal return (which has since been raised to $40,000 under the OBBBA for 2025). To illustrate, I put in that I had $10,000 of state income tax and $5,000 of real estate tax on Schedule A, for a total deduction of $15,000 (note that I am not limited this year as I would have been in the prior year under the $10,000 cap).
For the Oklahoma return on Schedule 511-D Line 2, I need to add back state income taxes deducted on the federal return. Instead of adding back the full $10,000 that I was able to claim on the federal return, Turbotax is adding back $6,667 (which represents the pro rata state income tax that would have been deducted had I been capped under the $10,000 limit) (e.g. $10,000 state income tax / $15,000 total tax deduction times $10,000 limit). Unless I am mistaken and Oklahoma is still applying the prior year SALT cap, then it seems that this is a calculation error on Turbotax's part and Turbotax is overstating Oklahoma itemized deductions.
