State tax filing

No.

The employer should only withhold CA state tax in which case you would only file a state tax return for California. 

If the employer withheld Illinois Tax, you would need to file a Illinois return to get the Illinois tax refunded and also a California return to pay your state tax on that income. 

 

You would only need to pay Illinois tax if you spent time physically working there.
