Get your taxes done using TurboTax

That is good news that the error check went away.  Since the Smart check error is gone, there should be nothing to prevent you from filing normally.

 

It does not matter what order you enter the state information on the W-2.  It matters what order you prepare your state tax returns.  You should work on the non-resident return first and then your resident return.

 

When you are going through the NC resident return section for taxes paid to another state, TurboTax is looking at the actual tax return for the non-resident state, not the state taxes that were withheld on your W-2.  The credit for taxes paid to another state is based on the actual state tax return and not just the withholdings, so you should change that amount back to what TurboTax determined it should be after the IL return was completed.
