I am trying to my state taxes. I worked in Illinois, but I live in Indiana. I finished my federal, and started with my nonresident state of Illinois. I go completely through it, after finishing Illinois, I get a message that I need to do Indiana. After completing Indiana, I get a message stating: Important: Complete your nonresident return(s) first. I started with my nonresident first, so I don't know why I am receiving this message. I tried to delete both, and start over, and I am still getting this message.

TurboTax is giving you that message because you are entitled to a credit for Illinois tax paid on your Indiana return.

Try completing Illinois first again and then Indiana.

In Indiana, say YES when you get to Credit for Tax Paid to Other State or Country,
Select Work on Credit on About Credit for Tax Paid to Another State
On Tax Paid to Other States Summary you should see IL and a number for Total Tentative Credit.
If you do not, click EDIT and enter numbers from your IN tax summery.
To see your summary, select Tax Tools in the left column
Then Tools
Choose View Tax Summary in the center box
In the left column, choose IL Tax Summary
Write down your Taxable net income and IL tax
Click back and return to the IN

Did that work for you? I'm having the same issue. Still says "Important: Complete your nonresident return(s) first" even though I've gone through it already.
