If I work in MO and live in IL how can increase what I pay to IL? Because at the end of the year I have a big bill.

Is there a way to work in MO and pay taxes in IL?

If you live in Illinois and work in Missouri you need to file a tax return in both states.  Your resident state of Illinois can tax ALL your income regardless of its source.  Missouri can tax you as a non-resident on your earnings from work actually performed in Missouri.

On your IL tax return, you'll be able to claim a credit for the taxes paid to MO.  Since Missouri's tax rate is a bit higher than Illinois', taking the credit should leave you with a small balance (if any) due to IL.  (Note that, in TurboTax, you must complete the non-resident state return first, before you do your home state return, in order for the program to calculate and apply the credit correctly.)

If you wish, you may also increase what you pay to IL by making quarterly estimated tax payments to IL.  This reference gives the details on that:

But, because of the credit, it probably won't be necessary for you to pay estimated IL taxes.
