Why are you seeing Illinois as a state on your tax return?

 

In the My Info section of the program you are asked to enter your resident state (this is as of 12/31/2024).  You should have selected Georgia.  Further on you are asked if you lived in any other states, answer NO.  You will also be asked if you made money in another state, answer NO.

What did you enter about the state of IL----do you have a W-2 or some other tax document that shows something about IL?
