Illinois State Income Tax
I was filling in information for my Illinois State Income Returns and I got to the part where it asks about "Wage income from outside Illinois". I inputted the correct "other state amount" but I noticed that the "Total Amount" figure was not the same as the amount I made in Illinois (it was higher than the figure in Box #1 of my W2. As a result, on the State Review Page, it claimed I owed money to the state and it was the same amount as 4.95% (Illinois's state income tax rate) of the "Total Amount" figure. I shouldn't owe any money to the state since I already paid the state income tax when it was withheld from my paycheck. This "Total Amount" number claims I made more than what my W2 shows. How can I change this "Total Amount" figure or did I do something wrong?
