Retirement tax questions

You will be taxed based on your state of residence.  If you live in WI you will be taxed on pension amounts received while a resident of WI.  

 

IL does not tax the retirement benefits listed below.  If you are an IL resident for any part of the tax year you are allowed a subtraction on your IL state resident return for the amounts received while you were an IL resident.  

 

No, owning a property by itself in a state typically does not show that a taxpayer has abandoned residency in another state. The preponderance of actions such as physically moving and establishing ties to the new state determine if a residency has been abandoned.  Each state has it laws on the subject.  Here is a link to the WI definitions of tax residency.
