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.
