I have followed the directions in the response, but when I go to complete my state review, it keeps bringing me back to the property tax page saying "Needs Review".  When I review, there are only two boxes to complete, I've checked them and completed them, but it continues to say "Needs "Review" which is preventing me from completing my Illinois state return.  Please advise.

If you're in the Online version of TurboTax, try clearing your browser's cache and deleting your cookies.  See the TurboTax Help articles How to clear your cache and How do I delete cookies? for guidance. 

 

Then, close the browser and re-open it.  Go back into TurboTax and see if the issue is resolved. 

 

If not, your best bet may be to delete your state return and start it over again.  See the TurboTax Help article How do I delete my state return in TurboTax Online? for guidance.  If you're using the Desktop version, see the TurboTax Help article How do I clear my state return in the TurboTax for Windows software?.
