Out of state return

My granddaughter is a student in Kentucky.  She is an Illinois resident.  She worked part time in Kentucky while in school.  Her W-2 from Kentucky shows KY in box 15 and she paid taxes in Kentucky to the state and to the locality.  

Because Kentucky is a reciprical state with Illinois, does this make sense?  Reading other information on the site it appears that IL should be in box 15 and no tax should have been paid?  Do I have this correct?

Illinois is crushing her with taxes and this just doesn't seem right.

Thank you
