Truncated W-2 SSN preventing Illinois e-file?
My employer took advantage of the new IRS option to truncate SSNs on W-2s to help prevent identity theft. This is good, however when I complete my Illinois return in TurboTax I receive a message stating "Return has a W-2 SSN that does not match the taxpayer's or spouse's SSN/ITIN on the return" and therefore I can't e-file. I'm guessing this is because of the truncation. I still have the option to file by mail, but resolving this issue to once again permit e-filing would be preferable. I'm curious if this issue is being worked by Illinois/TurboTax for the 2020 tax year?
