My Illinois State return says “started”. But won’t let me do anything but amend it. Does that mean I’m done and it’s processing or it’s not completed?

They should be available for filing now

IF you've already filed your Federal forms, then you have to wait for them to be accepted first.

IF the response from the IRS is already "Accepted" (Not just transmitted), then you probably have to get back into your file using the "Add A State" selection. Once inside, you go to thru the error checks on your state tax return, then go thru the filing section again to transmit your state tax return.
