No. Since you are a full year resident of Illinois, all of your wages will be taxed by Illinois. You will also have to file a nonresident Nebraska return. However, only the wages paid to your husband for work done in Nebraska is subject to Nebraska income tax withholding. If he worked in Illinois the entire year, he would have $0 in Nebraska source income. If he worked partly in Nebraska, then his wages would have to be allocated between the two states. Either way, you would have to file a nonresident return because Nebraska state taxes were withheld. You will get a credit on your Illinois return of any taxes you were liable for in the State of Nebraska.
The first thing you want to do is make sure you've filled out the Personal Info section correctly:
- With your return open, select My Info in the left-hand menu.
- Then, on the Personal info summary screen, please make sure your resident state (as of December 31, 2020) listed under your name is correct.
- Then, scroll down to Other State Income, and select Edit.
- At the Did you make money in any other states? question, answer Yes and make sure your other nonresident state is selected from the drop-down.
- Select Continue to return to your Personal info summary.
- Click on State on the left hand side.
- Add the state of second state as a non-resident.
- Follow the on-screen instructions.
If you are filing a resident return and a non-resident return of another state, it is recommended that you complete the non-resident return first to ensure accurate calculations.
