Unemployment from another state

Hi.

I have a 1099G from IL for 2017 but we lived in WA the entire year. I received this because my wife took a position here and I was not employed for some time.

I already submitted my WA taxes but just realized I may owe IL money or may be due some back.

I had federal and IL state withheld from my unemployment. TT says that I should get all of that IL state income tax back. 

I just want to make sure this is correct before I file with IL. Does that sound about right?

Unemployment compensation included in your federal adjusted gross income is taxable to Illinois if:

  • you earned it while you were an Illinois resident or
  • you received it from the Illinois Department of Employment Security as a nonresident.

Ok, so I wasn't a resident in 2017 at all. Filled out everything in TT as it asked and it said I am due the full amount back.

I went back and changed the allocation to say that 100 percent of it was earned from IL and I ended up owing a few bucks. Now I feel better. I just want to make sure I don't owe anyone money. Thx

What you did was correct.  Now you can enjoy living in Washington state, a state which has no income tax.
