What do I need to know about state withholding tax?

  • Illinois residents are subject to tax on all income no matter where it is earned. If you were taxed by another state on the income you received while you were an Illinois resident, you may be entitled to a credit for tax paid to other states
  • If you earned wages, salaries, tips, or other employee compensation from an employer in Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, or Wisconsin while you were a resident of Illinois, you are covered by a reciprocal agreement between that state and Illinois and are not taxed by that state on your compensation. However, you are required to pay Illinois income tax.
