I live in IL but work in MO

I currently live in Illinois, but I work in Missouri. I am currently trying to file for my 2023 taxes, but I'm not sure where I see the breakdown of the tax break for working in a different state. (Since they are non-reciprocity states). I already have completed my non-resident forms first, but it still says I owe Illinois far more than the refund MO is estimating to give me. Please note, it is a non-remote position.

If someone could walk me through where I would see that tax break or how I would go about finding it, I would appreciate you very much.

Also, not sure if this matters or a completely different question, but it says I only paid $13 in taxes to MO, but my W2 says more.

At this point, just a guess,

...but the final MO forms aren't currently scheduled to be implemented until on/after 25 January....so improper $$ amounts may be transferring from the wrong lines on old MO forms.

Come back on the 26th and go thru the MO and IL Q&A again ad see if it looks OK then.

Also, keep an eye on the MO Forms availability dates on this page....in case they change the date backwards another week.

makes sense! Do you think that's why it's only reporting $13, versus a larger amount?

I will definitely wait and then revisit and see if I run into any issues. Thanks for your response!

On line 31 of the Missouri MO-1040, you should see the Resident Credit - this includes any taxes you paid to other states.

This is how states usually try to avoid double taxation on the same income.

However, this method is not perfect, because the states may levy income taxes at different rates, so the non-resident state's tax may not cover the tax of your resident state - that can't be helped.

Of course, SteamTrain's advice is solid - we can't be sure of anything until both states are released in TurboTax.
