Client is a non-resident and did not work in IL, but the employer withheld IL state income tax. Lacerte says that the return cannot be e-filed. Is there a way to still e-file the state tax return?

Did you try setting up a nonresident return and entering the withholding?

The more I know the more I don’t know.

I did set up an Non-Resident return. I get an error/diagnostic that the state wage amount cannot be less than the state withholding. I am hoping to be able to e-file if I can get around the diagnostic.

I had a client that took YEARS to get this fixed. I gave them paper return for the state every year. They got a letter from the state every year to explain why there was no income but withholding. I helped write the letter to the state every year.

Get your client to fix this right after they pay your bill for the paper return.
