additional state is added when filing

I have entered 2 states which I have lived during 2024. But at the end when I am filing, I see an additional state popping up - Illinois - which I only lived there during 2023 and not 2024 and now I don't know how to get rid of it. on the state tab, it only shows the 2 states I have lived in 2024 but don't know where this third state is coming from

Review your entries:

  1. Go to My Info Section.
  2. Select Edit to the right of your name.
  3. Review the entry for State of residence on December 31, 2024.
  4. Review the entry for I lived in another state.
  5. If filing jointly, review the same entries for your spouse.

Also, review your W-2s lines 15-17and, check if another state income taxes has been withheld.
