State tax filing

Thanks for help Daniel.  I just had one more clarification about that section.  If I have 30,000 total income in IL, and 29,000 of that was earned from the NY source, on that "Allocate your Illinois and non-Illinois amount", do I leave the IL amount as 30,000 and set the "non-IL" as 29,000?  When I do this, it does say I will get a tax credit, but when I go to file it says I cannot e-file because "cannot file when the sum of Illinois wages plus out of state wages on all W-2s does not equal total wages reported on IL Schedule CR".   Would I change IL wages to 1000, and the non IL to 29,000?   Or leave the IL as 30,000, and the non IL blank?  In either of those situations it doesn't give me a tax credit for IL.   Thanks again.
