Illinois tax form wrong

[techmsgt1]

In the Illinois tax form you only provide 10 accounts to enter; I have 11 grandchildren and 11 accounts. Can you fix or tell me how to enter the last one?

Yes, follow the directions below to add your 11 dependents into TurboTax.

If you are preparing your tax return in TurboTax you will enter your dependents in the Personal Info section of the program.  This information will flow to your Illinois state tax return.

The program will ask you various questions about your grandchildren. TurboTax uses this information to determine what tax benefits you are entitled to. You get to these prompts in the My Info section of the TurboTax program.  Select Add Another Dependent.

It looks like this:

Continue answering  through these prompts:

Add each of your eleven grandchildren this way.  It will allow you to enter more than ten.

When you prepare your Illinois State tax return in TurboTax this information will flow through to your state tax return.

You are correct that Form IL-E-EIC only allows ten exemptions to be input, but the instructions to the form state that if you have more than ten exemptions, you

can add the additional exemptions by adding your own table for the exemptions in excess of ten.  So you can prepare your own table (like the one below) with your additional eleventh exemption, if you were going to mail your state tax return.

From the instruction for Form IL-E-EIN: If you are claiming more than ten dependents, complete and attach additional dependent information tables.
