Illinois state not appearing on drop down menu on federal 1040NR in Proseries Pro - eventhough IL state has been installed

Trying to e-file an IL 1040 NR, but not showing up on the 1040 NR federal info page - as a drop down menu state. Have installed, uninstalled and reinstalled IL state as well as Proseries Pro several times, but still not showing up. Already paid for the state, so, that's also not the issue. 

 

Any ideas on how to get this to work?

Does IL have one? If you are a non resident alien for federal, aren't you a non resident of IL, too?

Also, even if there is one, that doesn't mean that PS has it. PS isn't known for having all forms.

IL state has a Schedule NR, which you need to attach to the IL-1040.

The issue is that if you want to e-file the IL return, you need to go to the Federal Info worksheet - Part IV - Filing Information section, Electronic Filing, and where it says 'Select state returns to electronically file' (see below). When you click on the drop down menu, the installed state should appear, but for Illinois, doesn't. 

 

It's odd, as on the Proseries Basic version, there is no problem, but Proseries Basic just doesn't offer the 1040NR Federal, so, using Proseries Professional.

ProSeries does not offer state returns with 1040NR.

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