The reciprocal agreement between Illinois and Wisconsin covers wages only, NOT unemployment.

Next you will file your Wisconsin state return, claim all your income, including the unemployment.

If you are double taxed on the unemployment, your Wisconsin return will show a credit for the Illinois tax paid.
