I created a tkinter checkedbox to receive input from user to see which machines from date_and_time_dictionary they want to delete. You then press a tkinter button "Print Checkbox States" and if a box was checked the program will print out the machine and the word "True" next to it and "False" otherwise. Even though some or all boxes are checked, I still get back all False for every machine.
date_and_time_dictionary = {'S120': {'Setup Start Time': 'March 28, 2023 1:55 PM', 'Loaded in Program': 'March 28, 2023 1:56 PM', 'Setup End Time': 'April 5, 2023 1:24 PM', 'Pending F/A (At-risk) Start': 'April 5, 2023 1:24 PM', 'Pending F/A (At-risk) End': 'April 7, 2023 11:51 AM'}, 'S109': {'Setup Start Time': 'April 3, 2023 9:56 AM', 'Setup End Time': 'April 4, 2023 4:59 AM'}, 'S112': {'Setup Start Time': 'April 5, 2023 7:03 AM', 'Loaded in Program': 'April 5, 2023 9:31 AM', 'Setup End Time': 'April 11, 2023 8:49 AM', 'Pending F/A (At-risk) Start': 'April 11, 2023 8:49 AM'}, 'S117': {'Setup Start Time': 'April 5, 2023 1:24 PM', 'Loaded in Program': 'April 5, 2023 1:28 PM', 'No QIP Available': 'April 6, 2023 10:20 AM', 'Setup End Time': 'April 6, 2023 3:25 PM', 'Pending F/A (At-risk) Start': 'April 6, 2023 3:25 PM', 'Pending F/A (At-risk) End': 'April 10, 2023 8:11 AM'}, 'S113': {'Setup Start Time': 'April 5, 2023 12:53 PM', 'Loaded in Program': 'April 6, 2023 6:42 AM', 'No QIP Available': 'April 5, 2023 1:02 PM', 'Setup End Time': 'April 11, 2023 5:57 AM'}, 'S101': {'Setup Start Time': 'April 4, 2023 9:25 AM', 'Setup End Time': 'April 6, 2023 6:11 AM'}, 'S119': {'Setup Start Time': 'April 7, 2023 9:13 AM', 'Loaded in Program': 'April 7, 2023 10:02 AM', 'Waiting For F/A Approval': 'April 11, 2023 8:48 AM', 'Setup End Time': 'April 10, 2023 3:32 PM', 'Pending F/A (At-risk) Start': 'April 10, 2023 3:32 PM'}, 'S111': {'Setup Start Time': 'April 3, 2023 9:30 AM', 'Waiting For F/A Approval': 'April 10, 2023 6:25 AM', 'Setup End Time': 'April 10, 2023 6:32 AM'}, 'S106': {'Setup Start Time': 'April 7, 2023 9:06 AM', 'Setup End Time': 'April 11, 2023 6:14 AM', 'Pending F/A (At-risk) Start': 'April 11, 2023 6:14 AM'}}

What I tried and got back was: S120: False S109: False S112: False S117: False S113: False S101: False S119: False S111: False S106: False
What I expected to get back if S120, S109, and S111 were selected was: S120: True S109: True S112: False S117: False S113: False S101: False S119: False S111: True S106: False
The way I create my buttons is by looping through each key in my date_and_time_dictionary. My program only references the last one I created, which it saves as self.key. When I call print_checkbox_states(), it only checks this button's value. One way around this is to save all the references to these Buttons in a dictionary:
date_and_time_dictionary = {'S120': {'Setup Start Time': 'March 28, 2023 1:55 PM', 'Loaded in Program': 'March 28, 2023 1:56 PM', 'Setup End Time': 'April 5, 2023 1:24 PM', 'Pending F/A (At-risk) Start': 'April 5, 2023 1:24 PM', 'Pending F/A (At-risk) End': 'April 7, 2023 11:51 AM'}, 'S109': {'Setup Start Time': 'April 3, 2023 9:56 AM', 'Setup End Time': 'April 4, 2023 4:59 AM'}, 'S112': {'Setup Start Time': 'April 5, 2023 7:03 AM', 'Loaded in Program': 'April 5, 2023 9:31 AM', 'Setup End Time': 'April 11, 2023 8:49 AM', 'Pending F/A (At-risk) Start': 'April 11, 2023 8:49 AM'}, 'S117': {'Setup Start Time': 'April 5, 2023 1:24 PM', 'Loaded in Program': 'April 5, 2023 1:28 PM', 'No QIP Available': 'April 6, 2023 10:20 AM', 'Setup End Time': 'April 6, 2023 3:25 PM', 'Pending F/A (At-risk) Start': 'April 6, 2023 3:25 PM', 'Pending F/A (At-risk) End': 'April 10, 2023 8:11 AM'}, 'S113': {'Setup Start Time': 'April 5, 2023 12:53 PM', 'Loaded in Program': 'April 6, 2023 6:42 AM', 'No QIP Available': 'April 5, 2023 1:02 PM', 'Setup End Time': 'April 11, 2023 5:57 AM'}, 'S101': {'Setup Start Time': 'April 4, 2023 9:25 AM', 'Setup End Time': 'April 6, 2023 6:11 AM'}, 'S119': {'Setup Start Time': 'April 7, 2023 9:13 AM', 'Loaded in Program': 'April 7, 2023 10:02 AM', 'Waiting For F/A Approval': 'April 11, 2023 8:48 AM', 'Setup End Time': 'April 10, 2023 3:32 PM', 'Pending F/A (At-risk) Start': 'April 10, 2023 3:32 PM'}, 'S111': {'Setup Start Time': 'April 3, 2023 9:30 AM', 'Waiting For F/A Approval': 'April 10, 2023 6:25 AM', 'Setup End Time': 'April 10, 2023 6:32 AM'}, 'S106': {'Setup Start Time': 'April 7, 2023 9:06 AM', 'Setup End Time': 'April 11, 2023 6:14 AM', 'Pending F/A (At-risk) Start': 'April 11, 2023 6:14 AM'}}
checkbox_states = {}
checkbox_list = []
# Add a button to print the state of each checkbox
def print_checkbox_states():

if checkbox_states[key].get():
checkbox_list.append(key)

def delete_old_after_action_report_times():
root = Tk()
root.geometry("400x300")

is_selected = BooleanVar()

I took print_checkbox_states() out of delete_old_after_action_report_times(). I also moved checkbox_states outside of the function and made it a global variable dictionary. Then I made a global variable list checkbox_list. I fill in the checkbox_states dictionary in delete_old_after_action_report_times(), so that I can track whether a button has been selected or not. It's easy to reference this table, because the keys are the items themselves. I then put the keys in a list to access later to know which machines I want to delete.
