State tax filing
I'm getting the same message. Filing in IL and MO (IL resident, employer in MO, but they sent 2 versions of @w-2, one with a portion for IL and one for MO as I worked remotely for more than half the year). Initially I entered everything just as it appeared on the W-2's, but because my remote work IL wages were higher than MO, Turbo Tax seemingly had a bug that wouldn't allow me to eFile. It was saying "Form MO-NRI: TP Remote Work Income should not be greater than total Missouri wages entered on your federal return". turbo Tax seemingly had a control where if the employer broke out the wages between 2 states and the non MO state was higher, it throws an error disallowing efiling.
To get past this I updated the IL and MO numbers to be the same as the federal and then just used the MO remote work section to divvy up the income earned while working in MO vs the remote income when I was working remotely in IL. That seemed to correct the error on the MO side, but then it brought about an odd situation the original poster mentioned here - cannot eFile when sum of IL wages plus out of state wages on all W-2's does not equal total wages reports on IL Schedule CR.
My wife had a similar situation where her employer is in MO and she did remote work in 2024, BUT that employer put all of the income in MO and only took out MO taxes. The system seemed to have no issue with that.
Seems Turbo Tax has some work to do in coding their system to properly handle when an employer monitors in which state work happens and issues multiple W-2's to address it. Or they at least need to give us some sort of workaround that still allows us to eFile. Now it looks like I have to manually file my IL return.
