I'm glad you determined the problem with the Code G being incorrectly included. Did Michigan ever acknowledge the response you sent them to their first letter? I'm wondering if filing an Amended Return before they respond to you will cause more problems. 

we have no access to your prior year's return so you'll have to review the capital loss carryover worksheet. the most likely explanation is either a) part of your capital loss was used aganist other income in 2024 or b) against capital gains. 

I am assuming this is for NY, as NY is very particular about the document entry. Enter the first 3 characters after, not including "IDUSA".  Some other users experienced errors with incorrect issue and expiry dates, so double check they are correct and not swapped as well.    For more information, see Where do I find my document number so that I can e-file my New York return?

Medicare wages and tips represent the total amount of income you earned that is subject to the Medicare tax, which is found in Box 5 of your W-2.

Federal section in the personal worksheet for your spouse, it asks for the state of residency on 12/31/2025? did you answer this  then it asks if she was a part-year resident of that state for which you should check the box then it asks for the date residency was established in that state enter the date  then it asks for the previous state of residency for which you should enter IL.  in the Illinois info worksheet check part-year resident. But there's a bug as you noticed because it only asks for one of the taxpayers. the actual Il-1040 does not ask it this way. Rather on form Il-1040-NR each of you enter your dates of illinois residency and for your spouse the other state and dates of residency.
