Idaho State Tax Return Form 40 - Itemized Deductions aren't correct based on SALT add back from Federal Return

[jared062488]

Hi - I am having issues with my 2025 Idaho State Tax Return. My understanding is that we shouldn't get the SALT deduction on our state return, even if we took it on our federal return. So line 14 of Form 40 is supposed to add that back. My line 14 is adding back a random number that makes no sense to me (doesn't match the formulas from the instructions for Form 40 or anything on my Schedule A from the Federal Return). Also, it keeps telling me the wrong information related to itemized deductions vs standard deductions, etc. Is anyone else struggling with the Idaho State Returns this year? I know what I want it to look like, but TurboTax doesn't even give me the option to get it correct manually myself. It is trying to force me to do it incorrectly.

Thanks!

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:

TurboTax Online:

1. Sign into your online account.
2. Locate the Tax Tools on the left-hand side of the screen.
3. A drop-down will appear. Select Tools
4. On the pop-up screen, click on “Share my file with agent.”
5. This will generate a message that a diagnostic file gets sanitized and transmitted to us.
6. Please reply with the Token Number that was generated in the response.

TurboTax Desktop/Download Versions:

1. Open your return.
2. Click the Online tab in the black bar across the top of TurboTax and select “Send Tax File to Agent” *
3. 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.
4. Please reply with the Token Number  (including the dash) that was generated in the response.

*(If using a MAC, go to the menu at the top of the screen, select Help, then, “Send Tax File to Agent”)
