It really depends.
First of all, ask this question:
If you are a resident and required to file a federal tax return, you would need to file an IL state return.
If you are a non-resident, you must file Form IL-1040 and Schedule NR if:
-you earned enough taxable income from Illinois sources to have a tax liability ( i.e., your Illinois base income from Schedule NR, Step 5, Line 46, is greater than your Illinois exemption allowance on Schedule NR, Step 5, Line 50), or
-you want a refund of any Illinois Income Tax withheld in error. You must attach a letter of explanation from your employer.
Since you still receive a pension from the state, without knowing the amounts, my advice to you is to go through the state section in the TurboTax program to confirm and verify your requirements and possibly a state refund or tax due. Just follow prompts and the program will guide you through.
