Problem with 2023 State and Local Income Tax Refund Worksheet

[proper1420]

Running Windows Turbotax 2023 Deluxe, and its calculations for a state tax refund don't make sense to me. Did "Send Tax File to Agent", token number 4697113963207835-38260841.

2022 itemized deductions for state and local taxes exceeded the $10,000 limit by $2,010, so I expected the State and Local Income Tax Refund Worksheet line 11 (Total recovery exclusion) to be $2,010, but instead it is $4,609. The worksheet appears to go astray at line 7b(2) (Refigured total itemized deductions), which is $2,599 greater than I calculate: if I take the figure from worksheet line 7b(1a) and substitute it into the 2022 1040 Schedule A line 5a, I get a 1040 Schedule A line 17 result that is $2,599 less than the worksheet's line 7b(2)).

From the 2022 Federal Form 1040 Information Smart Worksheet displayed by View/Forms, it appears that Turbotax has erroneously copied the 2023 state and local real estate taxes (1040 Schedule A line 5b) into this worksheet. This may have happened because the line was blank on the 2022 form (because I had no real estate taxes to deduct in 2022). Now I need to figure out how to remove this bogus entry from the smart worksheet.
