I am receiving this error: Illinois wages plus out of state wages on w-2s does not equal total wages reported on il schedule cr
When I try to do the final checks and finish I cannot get around this problem even though the values are the same when I look at the forms. I have tried entering exactly and rounding up since the values on the il schedule cr are rounded.
I found a possible solution and it did remove the error to get to the filing screen but then the error reappeared before I could file. Before the error reappeared, I was prompted to pay for the state filing, now that I cannot e-file, can I get a refund for not being able to e-file my Illinois return? Or is there something else I can do to fix my return for e-file?
Try these steps to get rid of the e-file error you are seeing for IL.
- Revisit the W2 topic in the Federal "Income" tab
- Scroll down to the IL line in the W2 entries and blank out/delete the wages from box 16
- Continue and Continue again when the programs notes the blank box
- Revisit the state return interview and just click "Done with states" at the bottom of the page and continue through to the error checks.
- You should get an error now for the blank box on the IL forms
- Enter the IL box 16 wage amount in the box above where the error form is showing
- Continue
- Run the check again and the error should be gone
You should be able to complete the e-file.
