Smart Checks are there to alert you to something that may prevent you from filing your return electronically. If they are not corrected, you may be required to file by mail.
The taxes paid to Illinois is not necessarily the amount that was reported on your W-2 in box 17. That is just a number for taxes that were withheld. The actual Illinois tax return will determine the amount of taxes that must be paid to Illinois based on your income and deductions. Then that amount is compared to the amount of taxes withheld to decide if you owe more money or get a refund.
If TurboTax determined a different amount of taxes paid to Illinois, it is getting that number from the Illinois return and it is not supposed to be the amount reported on your W-2 in box 17. If it were that amount, it would be a coincidence. You should allow TurboTax to fill in the correct value and not change it to match your W-2 box 17 amount.
