My company actually allocated most of my state income taxes to Illinois while I was still living in VA. about 90% of my state income taxes were paid to IL. Even though I made roughly a total of 200,000, my w2 says my state wages for IL are 190,000 and my state wages for VA are 130,000
For example
Box 1. "wages, tips and other compensation" = 200,000
Box 15 "state" list IL and VA
Box 16 "state wages, tips, etc." lists 190,000.00 for Illinois and 130,000 for Virginia
Box 17 "state income tax" list 9,000 for Illinois and 1,200 for Virginia
