you don't. as to your wife's income you only pay taxes on it in Iowa. there is no IL-W-5-NR in the Illinois state return. that is a form you either get online - see link - or her employer.
https://www2.illinois.gov/rev/forms/withholding/Documents/currentyear/il-w-5-nr.pdf
if Illinois taxes were withheld you'll have to file in Illinois to get them back.
you need to file form IL-1040 and schedule NR which is not yet available as of 2-1-2021.
you may need to override line 5 on form NR which will require you to mail in the Illinois return.
per prior year NR instructions
schedule NR Line 5: Wages, salaries, tips, etc.
Enter the amount shown as Illinois wages on the Illinois copy of the
W-2 forms you received while you were a nonresident.
Do not include any Illinois wages you received while
you were a resident of Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, or Wisconsin.
The Illinois-Iowa reciprocal agreement applies only to W2 wages and salaries. It does not apply to self-employed income.
If your wife had self-employed income in Illinois, it is taxable by Illinois, as well as by her home state of Iowa. She'll be able to take a credit on her IA return for taxes paid to IL on the income taxed by both states, so she won't be double-taxed.
