Illinois 1040 Tax Form Step 4 Exemptions line 10B is not checked and I am over 65. How do I check it?

Check to see if this exception applies to you - if your income exceeds certain levels depending on your filing status, you are not eligible for the exemption

Income Exceptions If your federal filing status is married filing jointly and your federal AGI is greater than $500,000, you are not entitled to an exemption allowance on Line 10. Enter “zero” on Line 10. If your federal filing status is single or head of household, married filing separately, or widowed and your federal AGI is greater than $250,000, you are not entitled to an exemption allowance on Line 10. Enter “zero” on Line 10.

Thank you.  I was very confused why my over-65 checkmark on my federal return did not transfer to my Illinois return.
