Incorrect SALT information in Help?

mannyaggarwal · ‎February 07, 2026

After entering all the information, when reviewing the income and deductions section, TurboTax shows a difference in the amount entered versus the amount allowed. When I click on the "Why the difference" link the help box that pops up still shows the SALT cap for MFJ as $10,000, which is incorrect. The SALT cap for 2025 was raised to $40k under the BBB.

Correct...TTX has been notified that the text in that supposed "Help" article is wrong now.

TTX 2025 software uses the new $40000 limit. If you are over the 10k limit, just check your Schedule A (after you've entered all your data) and look at line 5e to see what TTX is using.
