WI will take out taxes. You will then file a non-resident return for WI and a regular resident return for IL.
First you fill out the non resident return for WI and you'll probably get some kind of refund. Then you fill out your resident tax for IL and there will be a line for a credit for taxes paid to another state and you'll put your withholding amount (not the amount on the WI return, but the actual amount withheld) on there and you'll get a credit for that, so you don't pay double taxes.
Just remember, if you get a refund from WI, you have to add it back onto your Fed. and IL returns next yr, since you will have deducted them this year.

Look on your W-2 and make sure which state took out taxes. Because of reciprocity agreements between Illinois and adjacent states such as Wisconsin, knowing that you're an Illinois resident, your employer may have already withheld Illinois taxes.
That happened years ago when I was an Illinois resident working for the summer in Madison, WI. My employer deducted Illinois taxes, so I ended up only filing an Illinois tax return.
However, if your employer withheld WI taxes, then you'd have to report your WI income on your Illinois resident IL-1040 (and be taxes accordingly), then file a WI-1040 to get a full refund of your WI withholding.

Income taxes? It will be WI, because that is the state that you work in. My cousin lives in WA and works in OR and pays OR income tax. You file in the state that took out the taxes, because the state where you live never got any of that money so you have no W2s to show that you made money in that state, so they have nothing to give back to you. You file in the state you work in.

the state you work in takes out the taxes. But you still have to file a tax for the state you live in as well. Its a real pain. But i used to live in ne and worked in ia.. even though i had no income from nebraska, i still had to file a return with the state.. But its the state you work in which takes out the taxes.
