Line 8 - Total state Section 179 elected (Cannot exceed line 7) - which is $25,000. I am unable to change the dollar amount on line 8 to $25,000. How can I get that amount to change?

Does this involve a state income tax return where the state does not conform to Section 179 expensing?

If so, you will have to indicate which state return you are preparing or you can contact Support (link below) during regular business hours.

I can't exceed $25,000, how do I override and change the dollar amount that is on line 8. Or can I go ahead and send in my return with the higher dollar amount.

I am going to page another individual (SuperUser) who might have additional information and/or insight on this matter since it involved Maryland.

However, if all else fails, you should contact Support (link in my previous response). If you are using a desktop (installed) version of TurboTax, you could do an override in Forms Mode but I would not recommend that for the time being.

I have no experience with depreciation, so contacting Customer Support might be the best alternative. The best I can do is poke around on the Federal and Maryland forms and worksheets to try to recreate the error, but I doubt that I can do that without details of the type and value of asset involved.

Line 8 of which form is giving you the error?

What type of asset?

Make sure that you are making all entries in step-by step mode, not in forms mode.

When I checked for errors before sending in my 2017 return, I have an error:

State - Maryland - Section 179 Dollar Limitation - page 2 line 8

Line 8 - Total state Section 179 elected (Cannot exceed line 7) - $102,303.

Line 8 can not exceed $25,000.

Can line 8 be overridden, to be able to change $25,000.

The amount on Line 8 o $102,303 is from my K-1 - For the School Bus purchase.

This amount should not be changed.

Option, can the 2017 return be filed with the amount of $102,303 anyway, for the Maryland return?

That's too much of a deduction for MD, you need to find a way to get in and adjust the MD 179 deduction, a call to support, as mentioned above, is your best bet at this point.
