As a military spouse who worked in a different state than my residence, why am I being charged state taxes in a state I didn't work in?

My husband is stationed in VA. I got a civilian job. Our state of residence is IL. Why do I owe IL taxes? We haven't been in IL for 2 years.

If your state of legal residence is still Illinois, Illinois can tax you on all your income. But, under MSRRA, your Virginia wages are not taxable by Virginia.

**Answers are correct to the best of my ability but do not constitute tax or legal advice.
