SALT adjustment not calculating correctly?

I'm curious if anyone else is running into this issue and/or knows the solve...

 

Turbotax has a "State and local taxes greater than $40,000" line item that is making an adjustment to my itemized deduction amount. The problem is that the math doesn't add up - my personal property, real estate, a state & local income tax are above $40k, but the amount is less than half of the adjustment that Turbotax is making.  So it seems to be reducing my itemized deduction by more than it should.

SALT adjustment not calculating correctly?

What are the exact amounts on Schedule A lines 5a through 5e, 6, and 7? Which amount do you think is wrong?

I found the issue ... replying here in case others have the same question.  Looks like there's an income qualifier that kicks in and directs you to a worksheet to do an alternative calculation.  I couldn't see this in the TurboTax tool, but it is stated on the form.
