Illinois & Missing info

I received a letter from Illinois stating my W2 was not sent with my tax forms and that I now owe. Yes, I used Turbo Tax. I sent them the W2 showing I did indeed pay Illinois taxes. They have not even looked at the information I have sent and it has been 30 days now. I finally reached someone and was told it takes 90-120 days for them to respond! I take extra out of my pay for state and federal because I do not want to owe. State owes me more than usual and I am terrified I am going to get fees and penalties leading to not being owed what I am owed. I am baffled, can someone please explain this to me?

did you e-file the original return (the physical w-2 is not submitted) or mail it (the w-2 should have been stapled to the front). what year? the problem if it was mailed is that when it was opened the w-2 could have been left in the envelope and discarded. With e-filing there should not have been a problem unless 1) the employer never sent the state/feds a copy or 2 you entered some bad info in Turbotax for the state section so Illinois can match it to its records.

as of now all you can do is wait to see what happens.
