I noticed that Turbo Tax has not updated the SALT Deduction for 2025 to reflect $40,000. It says Standard Deduction or $10,000 Max. Why?

Are you sure you are not in the 2024 version?  The SALT tax is $40,000 in the 2025 version of TurboTax.   In the 2025 version the only way you should see a $10,000 SALT limit is if your income was $600,000 Otherwise, it would be $40,000. 

Note:  If married filing separately and your SALT limit starts at $20,000 then you would see a phase out starting at $250,000.

TurboTax for 2025 calculates the SALT deduction correctly.

What exactly is "it" that says "Standard Deduction or $10,000 Max"? Is "it" a screen in TurboTax, a help window, an FAQ, a tax form in a PDF? Where exactly is "it" in TurboTax? What is the title or heading on the screen? If it's a form, what form and what line on the form? Can you post a screen shot or a link?

Is the wording exactly what you posted: "Standard Deduction or $10,000 Max"? It's not clear why the standard deduction would be mentioned in relation to the SALT limit. They are not related.

There may be some text somewhere in TurboTax that was not updated to reflect the change in the SALT limit, but the calculations are correct.
