Generally for military you will have to pay taxes on your military pay to your state of legal residence which is usually your home of record unless you changed it with Form DD Form 2058.
But Illinois has a military pay subtraction please see Pub102 Illinois Filing Requirements for Military Personnel for detailed information.
Please ensure that you have entered Illinois in the State that you lived in in the "My Info" section even when you were stationed somewhere else:
Also, make sure that you checked the active-duty military box for the W-2 on the "Do any of these uncommon situations apply to this W-2?" screen right after you enter your W-2.
Furthermore, when you get to your state return double-check that your military pay is entered correctly on the "Military Pay Exclusion" screen for Illinois.
