Hello Vanessa,
Thank you for your reply. I appreciate the detailed information and explanations on this.
So, my employer sent me the following response: "The state of IL does not allow Employers to refund prior year taxes withheld. You will need to file your Corrected W2 in order to receive a refund from that state."
Unless I 'm reading this wrong, it sounds like my employer paid this to the state of IL and that my employer is unable to refund me directly. On my original W-2, box 16 and 17 have dollar amounts. On my W-2c, the previously reported box 16 has that same dollar amount, the corrected box 16 shows "0", previously reported box 17 is blank, and the corrected box 17 is blank too.
With that in mind, will I need another corrected W-2?
Also, I'm not sure how to go about this with the TurboTax software itself. I had already filed my federal side with TurboTax Deluxe on Windows (no state). I tried using TurboTax Online, but I'm running into some issues with it.
