I live in IL, and work remotely in MI. Should MI be taking out taxes from my checks since I am not a MI resident?

See this TurboTax support FAQ for states which have reciprocal agreements - https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/state-taxes/states-reciprocal-agreements...

 

As a worker in a reciprocal state, you can fill out that state's exemption form and give it to your employer if you don't want them to withhold taxes for your work state. If you do this, make sure your employer also withholds taxes for your resident state, otherwise you may get hit with underpayment penalties come tax time.

  • If you're a resident of Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Minnesota, Ohio, or Wisconsin, submit the MI-W4 form.

You say you " work remotely in MI".  I assume that means you physically work in IL for a MI employer. In addition to the reciprocal state rule, your MI employer should not be withholding MI tax because you do not physically work in MI.
