State tax filing

You are correct.  You will not file an Illinois return because you are not living in Illinois anymore.  And while you are required to file a US return, most if not all of your income may qualify for the Foreign Income Exclusion.  Here is an IRS website with more information on this subject:  https://www.irs.gov/individuals/international-taxpayers/foreign-earned-income-exclusion
