Turbo tax is saying I've maxed out my $5000 Federal deduction for the Property Tax deduction, but the sum of all my property tax is less than $5000. Why?
Married filing separately (so $5k is the limit) and I have $3312 in real estate taxes and $579 in car registration fees. It's not even counting the car registration fees because it's saying I already maxed out.

It includes your state withholding on W2 and any 1099 forms. And if you paid a state tax due in 2023 like on your 2022 state return.

It includes your state and local income taxes as well as your state and local property taxes. So when you entered your W-2, the state and local withholdings were automatically transferred to your itemized deductions.
