You need to change the W2 state information section to include the missing IL wages. It is odd to be showing IL tax withheld and not wages.
The state section of the W2 has two purposes.
- The issuer is letting the IRS know which states to report federal information from your return. That has already been reported to the IRS.
- It is for the program to use to get your state section correct. You need to correct the IL income.
You are right about never changing anything on the federal portion of the W2. That would be awful!!
