If you can identity which state you lived in when you made the contribution, you must allocate it to that state. If the contributions were even (like a monthly draw) then you could use the percentage of time. In ecg7's example, he was trying to allocate all the contribution to the taxing state to get an advantage. If Illinois chose to audit him, he would lose.
