Return cannot be e filed when the sum of Illinois wages plus out of state wages on all W-2s does not equal total wages reported on IL schedule CR. Is this a turbotax bug?

Same problem here - Illinois full-year resident, but my husband's W2 shows income in 7 different states, including NY.

His W-2 shows his full income (let's just say $100k to make it easy) allocated to IL and also to NY (this is a known NY thing - they want your full income reported to their state to make sure your tax rate is as high as possible, and then they prorate it based on how many days you actually worked in NY - I guess they must have a graduated state tax rate while other states do not?), and then the other 5 states show a small amount each.

So when you add up all the state line items in box 15 of his W-2, the 7 states add up to, say, $210k ($100k IL, $100k NY, and $10k among the other states). ACTUAL NY income (as figured out on our NY state nonresident tax return) is more like $2k. But the amounts on schedule CR only show the real amounts to each state (the $2k to NY) so it would add up to $100k, his actual income.

The only way I can see to force the W-2 numbers to match the CR numbers is for me to not accurately type in the W-2 numbers. I'm uncomfortable with that. I don't mind filing the state tax return on paper; I just don't want it rejected or whatever.

It's a rounding problem--Fed rounds W-2's one direction; IL schedule CR rounds the other: off by $1

Solution is to round all W-2 amounts manually so TurboTax won't round inconsistently for one form than others.

Still a problem with 2020 returns.

The rounding thing didn't work for me.  Too bad.  I guess I will have to mail it in.

Facing similar issue in TT-Delux 2022.

The IL Schedule CR on Step 2, line 1 - Column B (non Illinois portion) is not populating correctly.

How can I edit correct amount in column B for the state of Indiana wages?

The W2 entry in the federal section is often entered to match the forms you received rather than reality. You need to have non-resident states correct on the w2 screen. If your employer put the full amount for your resident state, that needs to be adjusted.

For example: If you earned $25,000 in state A and $5,000 in state B yet your w2 says $30,000 for your resident state, you would need to change that $30,000 entry and subtract the income from out of state. 

Don't worry about changing things. The other state and fed have a copy of the w2 as well. Your resident state just adds up everything so we need to give them the true earnings.
