And I should add one more thing: It is quite confusing what to do when I try to report on either of the state returns that I owe taxes to another state.
- If I try to report taxes paid to wisconsin on the Illinois return, I am told that since these states are reciprocal states, I should not be listing any taxable income that showed up on my w-2. But I am confused here because I know I was paying Illinois taxes while living and working in Wisconsin.
- If I try to report taxes paid to illinois on the wisconsin return I am prompted with a pretty complicated form and little guidance on how to fill it out.
Which state's return should be listing taxes paid to the other state?
