Thanks for your answers so far but I really don't want to pay that much money to have them done. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there that have to file like this. I can't imagine it being that difficult.

I believe you have to file in both states. I used to work as a recruiter for a school in one state and I lived in another and recruited in my home state. I only set foot in the state the school was based in once or twice a year for a couple of days, but I was still required to fill out the state tax form for that state plus my home state. I had to submit homestead proof to the first state that I did not live there in order to get the state taxes that witheld returned to me. It's a pain in the butt but mostly likely you will have to file 2 state returns. Blech.

You have to file state tax for the state you work in no matter what state you live in. That is why it is called INCOME tax. Your income comes from Illinois even if you lived in Miami.

third answer is WRONG! Your taxes are based on the state you live IN not where you work. Doesn't matter where you work just where you live. IE work in Georgia live in Florida no state income tax that simple.

Your W4 should have been completed to reflect your home address, therefore your employer should be contributing to your sate of residence and that is the state that you file for.
