Many people live and work in different states or move. The address only matters to you and your employer. The address shown on Form W-2 is where your employer will mail the form.
You can always ask your employer to send you a corrected W-2 with your current address.
IRS matches Form W-2s against Social Security numbers. States are only worried about what’s being reported in Boxes 15 (state), 16 (state wages), and Box 17 (state income tax withheld).
How you will be taxed depends on what’s shown in Boxes 15-17.
If all the income was earned in Illinois, then it is taxed by Illinois. If you are still working for the same New York company, it’s possible you’ll owe tax to New York because New York has a convenience of the employer rule, meaning if you are working remotely for your own convenience, New York may still be able to tax you.
Each situation is different. We’d have to know more about your remote situation to tell you if it appears you are being taxed correctly.
