This is a state tax question. therefore we can only give general advics.Originally posted by: Phil21
Quick question, which seems like it should be on some FAQ's somewhere, but I cannot find it.
I currently "live" in MN, with a homestead property there. I also pay rent in IL, and spend roughly half my time in both locations. What is relevent I think is that I claim MN as my 'home state', and also declare my property in MN as homestead.
However, what I am confused about is my employer is based in IL - and I am W2'ed. The employer, while sending checks to MN, does withhold IL state income tax.
Where do I file? Do I file in IL, since that is the only state withholding tax? Or do I file in IL for a full refund or something, and then file in MN? The problem as I see it, is not only do I have the regular W2 income, I also have some "extra" (under $5k) 1099 income which I obviously will have to file for in MN.
Ugh.
Thanks for any help.

You should be able to file MN taxes. MN should have a setup to process information for out of state income. You can look into IL as nonresident filing; however, if MN can handle the situation it may be better to go that route.
