but look closely..... is MN giving you a credit for the taxes paid to OH and IL? They tax you as if you were a resident for the whole year and then you give a credit for the tax you paid another state so you are not paying tax to two states on the same dollar.
I just looked at the MN form and it begins with the Federal AGI so yes, it is combining all your income. But then it makes adjustments on Line 13 for part year and non residents - this is where you should see a credit for what was paid to OH and IL.
