Hello,
After filling out my state return, I receive the error "Return cannot be e-filed when the sum of Illinois wages plus out of state wages on all W-2s does not equal total wages reported on IL Schedule CR."
I have two W-2s. One is a resident in IL working for an IL company. The other is working in IL remotely for an Oregon company. However, on my W-2 for the Oregon company, box 15 State) shows "IL". Technically, my company does have a building in Illinois (not technically an office). I am not sure if that matters or changes anything here.
There are two things I have tried that fixed the issue. However, I am not sure if either of these are the way to go where I could potentially run into problems down the road. It looks to me that the amount in box 16 on my Oregon company's W-2 is being double counted.
1) If I remove the row regarding state wages and taxes from my Oregon company's W-2, the error message goes away and I can e-file.
2) When filing my Oregon (nonresident) tax return, I select 0 wages for Oregon under the "Oregon Source Income and Adjustments" screen.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
