MIssouri Non-Resident

[wookiejas]

I have Missouri state income but I live in Illinois. I am required to file a MO-Non-Resident tax return. I didn't expect to get a refund because IL provides a credit for MO taxes paid but the system says I have a $3 refund due to MO? Why do I owe MO any money if I am a Non-Resident?

A $3 refund isn't a balance due to MO; it's a refund to you. Please clarify if you meant to write something else.

Sorry, I meant I owe $3 @SharonD007

All the income you earned in MO is taxable by MO.  If your MO taxes due exceeded your MO taxes withheld, you'll have a balance due to MO.

The credit you receive on your IL return will be your calculated taxes due to MO.  The credit cannot exceed your taxes due to IL.
