Can I deduct the rental cost of an apartment in WI that I am renting due to job related functions in Wi while I live in IL?

No.

Up to tax year 2017, job-related expenses were deductible as an itemized deduction subject to the 2% of AGI floor.

Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the itemized deductions for job-related expenses subject to the 2% of AGI floor are suspended for expenses incurred after December 31, 2017 through 2025.

Therefore, your job-related expenses as an employee are no longer deductible for tax year 2018.
