Illinois unemployment is taxable to Illinois so you will have to file an Illinois tax return. The Illinois Department of Revenue says:

 

Unemployment compensation included in your federal adjusted gross income is taxable to Illinois if

  • you earned it while you were an Illinois resident or
  • you received it from the Illinois Department of Employment Security as a nonresident.
