IL & MO Income Tax

[FeatherB]

I live in IL and work in MO.

I know that I have to file non-resident Missouri taxes and resident IL taxes, but on turbotax it's stating that I owe both IL & MO taxes. Do you know why?

When you live in one state and work in another, you file and pay tax to the state you worked in as a nonresident,  Then, when you file your resident state tax return, you get a credit for taxes paid to the other state so you are not double-taxed on the same income at the state level.  However, if you resident state has a higher tax rate, your credit is only for taxes paid so you may owe taxes to your resident state-- but if this happens it should be very little.  If you do owe a close amount to both states, you will have to go through again to check your entries for the taxes paid to another state credit,
