Part-year resident of Illinois Filing jointly in Oregon

My husband moved from Illinois to Oregon in 2019, worked for the summer and then was a student. He is now an Oregon resident. I was a resident of Oregon for the full year. We're filing jointly this year for the first time. When he indicated that he was a part-year resident of Illinois, the Oregon taxes jumped way up, from owing about $50 to about $700. Why is this? Would it be better to file state taxes separately?
