My 2025 Turbotax online reports 10000 instead of 40000 on Schedule A line 5e

Hi, 

I am itemizing my deduction on Turbotax 2025 online. I noticed that despite having 40k of itemizable deductions (before SALT cap), turbotax reports 10000 on Schedule A line 5e . This looks like a major bug.

Can you post a screenshot?   The administrator asked me to get one.

This is when previewing the Schedule A. I did not modify anything.

At first I thought it was the same error as another post showing only 10,000 in Review.   So what does it show on 5d?

It's 106,057, it's so strange that the new Turbotax Online is still using the old SALT cap, and I verified that I am actually using TurboTax Online _2025_ :(

Are you using the Online browser version?  Which version, Deluxe or Premium ?  Or the Desktop program you install on a computer?   On Windows or Mac? 

[etexier]

This is the online premium version.

And on a Mac with a chrome browser

I realized now that the SALT cap deduction is progressively reduced back to 10K after a certain income threshold. There is no bug then. 

Thanks for your help!

Wow.  I finally found that on Schedule A instructions for 5e.  So did you/Turbo Tax complete the State and
Local Tax Deduction Worksheet to figure the amount to enter on line 5e?

[etexier]

The amount  on 5e is correct ($10000): I simply misunderstood the description on line 5e, but Turbotax is right : SALT deduction cap reverts to the $10,000 limit above a certain MAGI level.

On page 7 is the worksheet to calculate how much you can use for Schedule A line 5e.

https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/i1040sca.pdf

Based on this worksheet it looks like TurboTax is using a negative value for line 8. Instructions says to subtract line 7 from line 1. Line 7 should be larger than line 1, so this should be a positive value (as your AGI is bigger than 500,000).

How you can check? Fill out the worksheet above.

Verify in TurboTax Desktop version by:

Click on Forms in upper right.

Select Schedule A, and it will show how TurboTax calculated the same worksheet. Mine shows a negative value on line 8...
