It didn't ask me for my IL-PIN when I e-filed, but it did ask for my six digit IP PIN that I got from logging onto my IRS account so I put that in. I don't have an IL Driver's license so I put in my State ID as well, which isn't expired. 

If you and your wife are completing the final tax return for a deceased taxpayer, you'll file a normal federal and state tax return for the deceased person based on their income and deductions until the date of their death (also called a decedent return). If the tax return for the decedent has a refund, you’ll need to complete Form 1310 - Statement of Person Claiming a Refund Due a Deceased Taxpayer. It can be completed in TurboTax.   Any income earned after this date is reported on a trust return Form 1041, US Income Tax Return for Estates and Trusts. You’d need an Employer Identification Number from the IRS if that form is needed;  you can apply for one here.   You may also need Form 56, which is used when either setting up or terminating a fiduciary relationship. It authorizes you to act as if you’re the taxpayer, allowing you to file income tax returns and pay taxes due with the returns.  This form isn't prepared with the decedent’s income tax return. It would need to be completed and mailed to the IRS office where the decedent’s tax return is filed.   See this help article and this tax tips article for more information.  

If you have entered 1/3 of the mortgage interest into the Schedule E interview screens, then you can enter the remaining 2/3 in the Individual Deductions & Credits 1098 menu. As long as the values are not higher than what you received on Form 1098, this won't be an issue for reporting purposes.  However, if you're worried about your manual calculations, TurboTax is able to do the math for you instead. As long as you indicate in your Schedule E/Rental Property entries that a certain % of your own home was rented and input that %, TurboTax will then split the total interest between Schedule E and Schedule A based on the relative % for rental and personal use, respectively. In this case, you would enter the full mortgage interest expense into Rental, and your 1098 data as received.  More discussion and information: Allocating Mortgage Interest Between Home and Rental.

You should be able to e-file if you use your IL-PIN or IL driver's license, which are alternative methods to your prior year's AGI. If you amended or changed the prior year's AGI that's what you use. if you filed after 10/15 try zero. Try dropping pennies from the prior year's agi.  il pin https://mytax.illinois.gov/_/#1    Maybe others can suggest other approaches, but if not and the issue can't be resolved you'll have to file by mail.

If you have already addressed all of the areas of your return for which Review asked for more information or corrections, you have checked your Internet connection, and the program is not progressing to the next step, first try the following steps:     Try exiting TurboTax, restarting your device and starting TurboTax again. Try using a different browser. Chrome usually works well. Try clearing your cache and cookies.     If, after completing the steps above, you are still not able to progress past Review, try these additional steps: Sometimes, if you enter a section and exit it, without making an entry, TurboTax will create a form for the entry that would go with that section, and Review will look for an entry in that form. It could also be that the form was created because of an entry carried over from last year.  If you have blank forms or forms with a "0" that are not needed, such as for W-2G or K-1, you can delete the form using the button on the screen that displays the form.  If after trying all of the options mentioned you still have the same problem:    See this help article and this one for instructions on how to contact TurboTax customer support depending on which product you are using.  

Thank you for the thorough answer. The website still says it’s going to be ready “by February if not sooner” and every agent I’ve talked to, all four of them, have given me a different version of “ the forms are ready now and they’ll be rolled out to you soon. Just wait one more day”. i It is maddening and frustrating that this billion dollar cabal that has a stranglehold over our taxes, can’t do something as simple as making the forms available that are available on the IRS’s website currently. 

If you are using TurboTax Online, and the program is "stuck" on a screen, try the following basic troubleshooting steps:   Check your Internet connection. Hardwired connections work best. Try logging out and logging back in again. Try using a different browser. Chrome generally works well. Try restarting your device. Try clearing your cache and cookies.     If after trying all of the options mentioned you still have the same problem:   See this help article and this one for instructions on how to contact TurboTax customer support depending on which product you are using.  

I figured something out. I went back in to edit my W-2. I found that I had selected "worked outside of the US" when I should have selected "None of these apply to me". As soon as I changed that, along with deleting it out of my documents using "Tax Tools", it let me file. But what a headache, TurboTax. Isn't ease of use supposed to be one of your selling points?

Yay! You saved the day. Thank you. Entering only the first three digits worked for me when the field would not accept the 10 digit document number. I had also tried switching browsers and that did not work by the way.
