I'm in the Army Reserves in Illinois. When I enter my military W2 I end up owing $252 to state. Should I check the "Active duty military" button? I was not deployed.

Active duty refers to full-time duty in the active military, including members of the Reserve Components on full-time training duty. It does not include full-time National Guard duty. 

Here's a tip sheet put out by IRS.  Notice Travel to Reserve Duty:
