It seems that TurboTax is calculating some additional number into my SALT deduction and I cannot figure out what it is.
- State income taxes withheld on my W-2: $2339
- Local income taxes withheld on my W-2: $2286
- Local income taxes owed from 2023 that I paid this year: $2212
- Property taxes from my 1098: $2956
This totals $9793, $6837 from income tax and $2956 from property taxes. So why is my Schedule A showing $12,108 in total paid taxes, $9152 income and $2956 property, thus a capped at $10K deduction? How do I find out where that extra $2315 is coming from?
If you don't elect to deduct general sales taxes, include on line 5a the state and local income taxes listed next:
None of these additional things apply to me. I have listed all of the numbers I entered. How do I figure out why TurboTax is putting a number on 5a that is larger than the sum of the things I entered?
