2025 Premier Schedule A Line 5e does not return a $10,000 value; when Line 5d is greater than$10000. It returns the larger than $10,000 value. the logic limitation statement does not appear to be working according to the forms text. What is the correct answer?

The new tax law increased the limit for state and local taxes to $40,000. The text on the form may not have been updated yet. It should say "Enter the smaller of line 5d or $40,000 ($20,000 if married filing separately)." The IRS has not yet published the final Schedule A form for 2025.

How does this affect the State of Maine Schedule 2, line 2a? The form still asks to enter the amount from 1040 Schedule A, line 5e (now greater than 10,000) however Turbo Tax auto-populates 10,000 in that field. Is this accurate? Although this benefits me, will my state taxes be rejected for having a different value between the Federal Schedule A line 5e and State of Maine Schedule 2 line 2a?

I would like to take a deeper look at this. However, I need a diagnostic file which is a copy of your tax return that has all of your personal information removed. You can send one to us by following the directions below:

Locate the Tax Tools on the left-hand side of the screen.
A drop-down will appear. Select Tools
On the pop-up screen, click on “Share my file with agent.”
This will generate a message that a diagnostic file gets sanitized and transmitted to us.
Please provide the Token Number that was generated in the response.

TurboTax Desktop/Download Versions:

Open your return.
Click the Online tab in the black bar across the top of TurboTax and select “Send Tax File to Agent” *
This will generate a message that a diagnostic copy will be created. Click on OK and the tax file will be sanitized and transmitted to us.
