Hi,
During the year 2021 I was
- A graduate student in the state of Illinois in the Spring 2021 semester from the dates January 1 to May 10.
- An intern in the state of Wisconsin from the dates May 10 to August 21.
- Back to being a graduate student in the state of Illinois for the Fall of 2021 from the dates of August 21 to December 31.
I had a temporary residence in Wisconsin for the dates of that internship and lived in Illinois during the dates I was a student. My W-2 from my Wisconsin employer lists my new Wisconsin address (I have moved in early January 2022 to Wisconsin) but I believe my employer had my Chicago address during my internship because I paid Illinois income taxes and Wisconsin income taxes during my internship according to my payslips. My Wisconsin employer's W-2 even lists Illinois in box 15. When trying to file my taxes on turbotax the questions about my residency in wisconsin have been quite strange. Things like "why didn't you buy a car or a home in wisconsin/illinois" and it doesn't seem to understand that I was only temporarily living in wisconsin as it will asks things like "when did you move out of wisconsin" when I both moved into WI and out of WI in 2021. Is my Wisconsin employer's W-2 correct to list IL in Box 15 and how do I answer these questions correctly on the online tax filing app?
