My husband jointly owned a home in Illinois. The home was sold in 20247 and proceeds were split evenly. How do I report this? We live in Texas. Do I need to report this on both federal and Illinois state taxes?

We received a 1099-S for 100% of the proceeds, which was 50% of the sale amount. There were closing fees deducted from the payment we received, not reflected on the 1099-S.

    Yes, you will need to report the sale on your federal return, and a nonresident Illinois return.  You will enter the 1099-S proceeds, then add the closing fees to the basis to reduce the taxable amount.
