Two states listed on 2023 W-2

I live in Kentucky but took a new job in Illinois in 2023.  For the first several weeks of the new job, Illinois state taxes were withheld from my paycheck until the mistake could be corrected.  Kentucky and Illinois have a reciprocal tax agreement.  Now I have both IL and KY state taxes showing on my 2023 W-2.  How do I proceed with preparing/filing my 2023 tax returns?  I file tax returns jointly with my wife using TurboTax Deluxe software.  Her W-2 will only show KY state taxes withheld in 2023.  Can two states be reflected using TurboTax Deluxe?

    Q. How do I proceed with preparing/filing my 2023 tax returns?

    A. You will have to file an IL non-resident return to claim a refund of the mistaken withholding.

    Q. Can two states be reflected using TurboTax Deluxe?

    A. Yes, but you will have to pay the TurboTax fee, for the 2nd state.  Only one state is included in the purchase of the TT Deluxe software.
