Prize money won in another state

Live in MI won prize money in Illinois, do I have to file tax for state of Illinois?

[TomK2023]

Yes.

If you were a nonresident of Illinois during the entire tax year, you must complete and file Form IL-1040 and Schedule NR if you 

• earned or received income from Illinois sources or 
• are entitled to a refund of Illinois Income Tax that was withheld from your pay in error. 

Fill out your Illinois state tax return before your Michigan return.
