My client lives in IL and work remotely for a company in TN in 2020. He got W-2 from TN with state income tax on it. Does he need to file a TN tax return?

No state income tax in TN. He files in IL as an IL resident.

I wrote it wrong. The company is located in TN, but the state income tax on his W-2 is for IL.

we have what is called the Hall Income tax......which is a tax  on certain non-bank interest, and most dividends,  and capital gains distributions from  mutual funds  There is NO state income tax on earned income (w2s, guaranteed payments, self-employment earnings, etc). This has been in effect since 1929. was 6% forever, but the legislature enacted a 1% annual reduction in the tax rate, til it goes away... which is 2021.  this is the last year of it...1%.

if you see a w2. with TN Income tax withheld....then something very fi$hy with that employer accounting $y$tem.
