What screen are you being asked to enter your work information. Is it the state income allocation worksheet? Also, is it on the federal or state part in TurboTax.

 

Since your husband works in IL but lives in IN, you'll have to do an IL nonresident income tax return. You'll be able to allocate your husband's IL income to the IL nonresident income tax return so you're not double taxed. 

 

You may also get a credit for IL state taxes paid on your IN income tax return. Please see How do I file a nonresident state return?

  • To ensure accurate calculations, always complete the non-resident return first if filing in multiple states because your resident state might give you a credit for any taxes paid in that situation.
