Since your Wisconsin return has been accepted and processed with changes, you must amend your Illinois return to match those changes before mailing it. If you have not yet mailed your original Illinois return, you can still edit it by reopening the state section, but since your Wisconsin return was already accepted and "locked" your federal data, the most reliable way to sync them is through the amendment process.    In TurboTax Online, find your 2025 return, select Amend (change) return, and choose Amend using TurboTax Online. On the "kickstart" screen, select "The IRS or state sent me a notice" and then "Something else". This allows you to update state returns without affecting your already-filed federal return. Select the Illinois return to amend. The refund tracker will reset to $0; this is normal as it now only tracks the change in your refund. Go to the Illinois state interview and look for the "Income Allocation" or "Wages Allocation" screen. Change the amount of income allocated to Illinois to reflect the amount Wisconsin "moved" away from it. In the "Explanation of Changes" box, type "Adjusted income allocation to match Wisconsin Department of Revenue assessment". Illinois amended returns (Form IL-1040-X) must be printed and mailed. Do not forget to sign and date the form and include a copy of the Wisconsin adjustment notice as supporting documentation.
