State tax filing

Illinois (like other states) taxes non-residents on income earned from physically working within its borders.  Therefore you do have to file a non-resident return in IL in addition to your home state return in MO.  MO can tax ALL your income, including your earnings from IL, but you'll be able to take a credit on your MO return for the taxes paid to IL, so you won't be double-taxed.

Note that you should complete the non-resident state return BEFORE you do your home state return.
