State tax filing

After reviewing the rules specific to these two states, and your circumstances, it appears that you should file as a full-year resident of Indiana, since your stay in Illinois was temporary in nature and you didn't abandon your home in Indiana. 

Since you worked and earned income in Illinois while you were temporarily there, you can file a nonresident return in Illinois instead of a part-year resident.
