State tax filing
It depends on the amount of unemployment income you received. For Arizona taxpayers; if you are Single, Married Filing Separately or Head of Household and your Arizona Adjusted Gross Income (AAGI) is at least $5,500 or your Gross Income (GI) is at least $15,000 you must file. If you are Married Filing Jointly and your AAGI is at least $11,000 or your GI is at least $15,000 you must file.
If your unemployment meets the filing requirements above, you will file a non-resident Arizona tax return Form 140NR.
For Illinois taxpayers: Who must file an Illinois tax return?
If you were an Illinois resident, you must file Form IL-1040 if
- you were required to file a federal income tax return, or
- you were not required to file a federal income tax return, but your Illinois base income from Line 9 is greater than your Illinois exemption allowance.
- For tax years beginning January 1, 2016, it is $2175 per exemption. If someone else can claim you as a dependent and your Illinois base income is $2175 or less, your exemption allowance is $2175. If income is greater than $2175, your exemption allowance is 0.
File the AZ return first, if applicable, then file the IL return, if applicable, and use the credit for only the unemployment income.

But why is the unemployment income earned in another state (in this case New Jersey) being considered income in the state where I live (New York)? Isn't that double dipping? I am being taxed on that amount twice, once in each state.

State tax filing
In 2015, the Supreme Court decided that people should not be taxed twice. Therefore, you get a credit from your resident state. Here is how it works.
- First, prepare your non-resident return. This creates your tax liability for the non-resident state.
- THEN prepare your resident state return and it will generate a credit for your income already being taxed in the non-resident state.
- The credit will be the lower of the state tax liabilities on the same income. You may owe your resident state.
It isn't possible for the program to create a credit before it knows the liability. Your returns may be wrong if you do not prepare the states in this order.

Hi,
Similar question - but still a bit confused.
Was in WI working, moved to MN to work and moved back to WI (all within 2019) and received unemployment benefits from MN after moving back to WI (so those should be taxed by MN, right?).
Do I need to file a nonresident form or can i just do a part year MN and part year WI and file WI after MN? If the latter, I think I did it correctly, but the starting date on the part-year MN form keeps auto-filling to 1/1/19

An important question- Did you change domicile or did you go to Minnesota to work with no intention of staying there?

Hi! I am moving from California to Nevada and collecting unemployment from California. Nevada has no state income tax...so how does that work? When you mentioned a credit that makes sense when both states charge state income tax but in this case I would be moving from a state that has income tax to one that does not. Thank you!
