To ensure your return is calculated correctly, you will need to confirm a few items: 

 

In the My Info section of TurboTax, confirm that you have entered the correct state information: 

  1. Click Edit to the right of your name 
  2. Confirm your input under #2 Tell us the state(s) you lived in
  3. Go back to the personal information section, and verify the mailing address and "Other state income" section.  Be sure to answer yes to the question asking "Did you make money in any other states?" and reflect Illinois here. 

Please note the following as it will affect the calculations: 

 

Make sure you prepare the Nonresident Illinois state tax returns first.   Be sure to answer the questions correctly to ensure only income sourced to that state specifically are reported.

 

Once you have entered all of the nonresident state information, then start your Delaware resident state tax return.  This will ensure you receive any credits for taxes on income which may have been taxed in Illinois. 

 

Proceed through the screens in your Delaware return until you see credits and taxes. You should see a section saying taxes paid to another state under the credit for taxes paid.   You can edit your information here if needed but the taxes paid to the other state should be listed in this section.
