Question

Do I need to pay IL state taxes for Army reserve pay? They didn't include it on the W-2 and now it says that I owe.

TurboTax does not automatically excluded the pay; you have to enter it as a deduction, in the IL interview

When you entered the W-2 there was a follow up screen that indicates the military pay aspect so the state will know it is military pay ... and when you get to the state interview it will ask how much of the military pay is exempt from IL taxes.

I already entered the W-2 and I don't remember seeing that as an option. Obviously, I would have said it was military pay, but they never asked.
