I am being asked to fill in a Tpstate box. Where can I find the information?

[JotikaT2]

TP is essentially taxpayer.  

Do you have a W-2 form?  You may need to enter the state information from Boxes 15-17 under your W-2 input.

You can also confirm the information in the My info section of the program to ensure you have entered the correct state information under your personal information.

I checked my state of residence and it is correct.

I am doing my taxes online and the information has been filed in except when I go to wrap it up it states "Tpstate must be entered".  Is it just the Employer's state ID (box 15)?

[JotikaT2]

Which state are you filing in?  And does it give you a specific form that needs the information when you go through the review and get the message regarding the TP state?

2019 Schedule IL-WIT IL-1040

Since the information was already entered in the online form.  It seems it wants me to verify the correct amount being withheld and enter it in the box

[JotikaT2]

Thank you for the additional information. 

You are correct, it just wants you to verify the state withholdings.  If it is asking for the state, go ahead and enter IL.  The withholdings should pull through from the input under the federal section.

Attached are the form instructions for your reference.

I am unable to fill in the box with IL. Why?

Two years later and I'm having the same problem and there's still no answer anywhere online. I try to type "IL" in the box and it just erases what I typed. There's no way to go back, ask for more information, or get help, I'm just stuck here. What the hell?

IL should be entered on the income form with the IL withholding. Go back to the federal income section and review your forms.

I have the same issue and still can't find a way to resolve it.

Please clarify. Are you in a section that is asking for "tpstate"? That would normally be the two-letter abbreviation code for your state. See this thread for more information if this is regarding an Illinois form.
