Deductions & credits

The ''needs review'' message will not prevent e-file.   I looked at your return, and there were no entries on Schedule ICR nor in the federal property tax section.   Enter the amount in the federal section (even if you are not itemizing).   If you're a homeowner, your property taxes are entered in the Deductions & Credits section:

 

  1. Sign in and open your return if you're not already in it.
  2. Inside TurboTax, search for property tax and select the Jump to link at the top of your search results.
  3. Answer Yes to the question Did you pay property or real estate taxes in 2023?
  4. Enter your property/real estate taxes on the next screen.   

After entering your taxes in the federal section, go back through the IL return.   When you get to the property tax page, enter the amount you entered in the federal part in the Paid in 2023 box and leave the other box (amount not principle residence) blank.   The message should clear, but even if it doesn't, the message will not prevent you from e-filing successfully.   Check your IL-1040 Line 16 for your credit amount.   If it is there, you can submit your returns without error.    @AnnMcK-
