My W2 shows that I paid state taxes to both IL and NC. My employer incorrectly deducted IL taxes for half of the year.
As a result, my W2 shows some of my wages in box 16 for NC and some of my wages in box 16 to IL.
The tax they deducted to IL and NC are correctly shown in Box 17.
I have read that I should file a non-resident return to the state of IL in order to get those taxes back, but how does that work if the wages listed in Box 16 for IL are not zero? Doesn't Turbotax think that I owe taxes to IL if there's a dollar value in Box 16 for IL?
My employer says they cannot change my W2.
