Illinois State taxes

[bachmej]

How do I get the Illinois state tax portion to recognize both of my W2 tax withheld for both of my W2s entered on the Federal portion. The issue is causing the missing tax already withheld to be owed again, when I already paid. How do you fix this?

You will need to make your entries in the Federal interview section of the program.

1. Select Income & Expenses
2. Select Job (W-2)
3. Click Edit/Add to the right of the Job (W-2) 
4. Proceed to enter your information as prompted
5. When you get to the state input section in boxes 15-17, review your entries on each W-2 to ensure Illinois is selected as the state or select Add a state if needed to add Illinois
6. Be sure to report your state withholdings exactly as they are reported on your W-2 forms to ensure the amount withheld matches the amounts already reported to each state as being withheld.

in the state withholding section make sure you selected IL if that's what's there. if it's a different state explain where you lived and worked in 2020
