Illinois "return cannot be e-filed" and NY wage allocation

I'm an IL resident and getting a "Return cannot be e-filed when the sum of Illinois wages..." error - from looking through other posts looks like this is often a rounding issue, and people have resolved by adjusting their allocation on nonresident state returns up or down by $1.

 

My problem is that one of my nonresident states is NY, and for whatever reason I cannot seem to enter my exact NY wages on that state return - just a percentage (or number of days), which means that I'm like ~$5 off because there's a limit to how many decimal places I can enter. It's also autopopulated on my IL return, so I can't adjust it there either.

 

Is there any way to resolve this, or will I need to mail in my return?
