State tax filing
Not sure what proof you thought you needed in order to file your IL tax returns. IL is pretty picky when it comes to e-filing and will not allow you to e-file an IL return without an IL driver's license or state ID, but that did not prevent you from preparing and filing those returns by mail.
If you are getting a refund for the state return there will not be a penalty for filing late; if you owe tax to IL you will now owe with penalties and interest, for which the state will bill you.
You are too late to e-file a past year IL return; a 2023 IL return can still be e-filed if you successfully e-filed a 2023 federal return. If you used TT to prepare your past year federal return you can use the CD/download software to prepare the past year IL return---it will require using a full PC or Mac, not a mobile device. Or you can get the forms from the state website and prepare them by hand to mail in.
