State tax filing

Illinois & Michigan have tax reciprocity.  That means that Illinois residents are not subject to Michigan income tax on their W-2 salary or wages.

 

You must file a non-resident Michigan tax return in order to claim a refund of the incorrectly withheld MI taxes.  On that return you must allocate zero income to Michigan.

 

You should also file Michigan form MI-W4 with your Michigan employer, claiming exemption from MI withholding.  Here's a link to that form:

Your income is 100% taxable by your home state of Illinois.  You must report ALL your income on your Illinois return.
