I'm not sure which form you are referring to. 

Could it be that you are add the "ILL" 

If this is the Illinois state return, should it just be Chicago 60657 or Chicago IL 60657?

Hey thanks for the quick reply. the form is asking for county, city, state and zip. 🤔

Just a hunch. But is the address physically inside the borders (red shaded area) of the "updated" map at https://www.zipdatamaps.com/60657

I take note that the official US Postal Service name for 60657 is CHICAGO, Illinois. While you can abbreviate the state with it's 2-letter designation of IL, you can't abbreviate the city name.

Cook County, Chicago, IL 60657

 

are you entering ILL or IL or is it a drop-down list for the state?

Hi,

 

It's the personal information form for state. When I add my info it populates the ILL automatically for me. Then when I go to E-File it says it needs to "fix" 2 errors and asks me to correct my zipcode 60657 and City Chicago. I've tried everything at this point?

 

Thank you again for all your help!!!!

I know this may sound silly but make sure the zero is not the letter "O" you are trying to type.
