Accounting for Reciprocal States - IL and WI

tccpg289
Level 4

Taxpayer (MFJ) is the spouse and works in WI, but lives in IL.

The W-2 has WI as the state code and has withholding to WI.

Other than checking the NR box at the bottom and noting WI, what else needs to be done in ProSeries to account for the reciprocity?

I have a client in a similar situation. Lives in NY, works in NJ. His W2 has amounts for both NY & NJ. I can't remember if I had to manually open the non-resident form but you might want to try that. You'll most likely have to file a non-resident WI return which may also trigger the credit to IL. 

Hope this helps.

IDK about WI and IL, but NY and NJ do not have a reciprocal agreement, so your guy has to pay tax in NJ and claim a credit in NY.

And NJ and NY calculate taxable wages differently. so beware.
