My Illinois return is saying "Schedule M: Line 21-Military Pay should not have value" I'm active duty and this hasn't been an issue on past returns, What needs to change?

Have you entered information about your military status in the Personal Info section of TurboTax, and have you checked that your W-2 is for active duty pay? I am unable to recreate the situation you describe. 

 

I would like to take a deeper look at this. However, I need a diagnostic file which is a copy of your tax return that has all of your personal information removed. You can send one to us by following the directions below:
