If i lived in Missouri full time but worked in Illinois how do I allocate my federal income

You'll allocate 100% of the income from the club to Illinois. Illinois will tax the work performed in the state. You will file a non-resident return for the work performed in Illinois, then you will take a credit for taxes paid to other states on your Missouri return.  

Here's how to claim the credit for taxes paid to other states: 

1. First prepare the non-resident IL return (don't skip this step or the credit might not populate correctly)

2. Next, prepare the resident MO return.

3. TurboTax will compute the credit for taxes paid in other states.
