Mac OS: Tahoe 26.2
TTax Desktop Version: 2025.r20.027
When I attempt to start Illinois state taxes (already installed), TTax wants me to either 'Purchase State' or 'Done With State'.
If I attempt to Purchase State, it says "Illinois is installed. You do not need to download this state". Entering 'Cancel' in turn drops my current session, and I have to reload via 'Open a different return'
If I select 'Done with States', it takes me to to the Review tab, which takes me to 'ready to file'.
I haven't even yet start the state taxes, although the Forms mode shows some partial Illinois forms.
How do I get out of this loop so I can actually start working on my state taxes?
