I work in white plains NY for a company out in Illinois. I've never been to illinois. My company knows this. Im using file tax usa and its asking me to pay taxes in IL it seems, as when I get the point where it asks "How much did you earn in Illinois?" its prompting me to put my federal wage amount into what's basically box 16-state wage.
the thing is, when I do that I sudden owe taxes to IL even though I've never been there? The company I work for is just based there so I'm confused. Its also worth noting that the state wage box is filled in with the same number as my federal wage box on page 2 of my w-2
Please assist. Do I fill it in or not? If I fill it in and its wrong do I get money back?
Filling out non-resident IL returns and its asking me to put my wage as if I made the money in IL?
