Amending my 2021 Illinois tax and the instructions on Illinois.gov site states several times that I have attach proof of federal finalization if AGI is changing due to a federal change. Can I use the e-mail I received from Turbo tax that my amended federal tax return was accepted? Or do I need to request a transcript from IRS? Thank you.

Not A Product Question

No, the email form TurboTax would not be proof of finalization. The State of Illinois prefers a copy of your signed 1040X and a proof of payment if there was a balance due.

They will accept the IRS tax account transcript as an alternate proof.

The IRS accepted my amended tax return, but when I open the 'account transcript' I don't see there updated information related to any amended update. I can still see the old info... I guess it's not what the State of Illinois wants to receive... When will 'account transcript' have the updated amending information?

It will not have the amending information. As a rule the original transcript never changes with an amendment. You will not see the amended return figures when you look at your IRS Transcript.

Transcript Types
- Tax Return Transcript - shows most line items from your original Form 1040-series tax return as filed, along with any forms and schedules. It doesn't show changes made after you filed your original return
