Illinois wages plus out of state wages on w-2s does not equal total wages reported on il schedule cr

[jablomme]

I am receiving this error: Illinois wages plus out of state wages on w-2s does not equal total wages reported on il schedule cr

When I try to do the final checks and finish I cannot get around this problem even though the values are the same when I look at the forms. I have tried entering exactly and rounding up since the values on the il schedule cr are rounded.  

I found a possible solution and it did remove the error to get to the filing screen but then the error reappeared before I could file.  Before the error reappeared, I was prompted to pay for the state filing, now that I cannot e-file, can I get a refund for not being able to e-file my Illinois return? Or is there something else I can do to fix my return for e-file?

Try these steps to get rid of the e-file error you are seeing for IL.  

1. Revisit the W2 topic in the Federal "Income" tab
2. Scroll down to the IL line in the W2 entries and blank out/delete the wages from box 16
3. Continue and Continue again when the programs notes the blank box
4. Revisit the state return interview and just click "Done with states" at the bottom of the page and continue through to the error checks.
5. You should get an error now for the blank box on the IL forms
6. Enter the IL box 16 wage amount in the box above where the error form is showing  
7. Continue
8. Run the check again and the error should be gone

You should be able to complete the e-file.
