Question

Why do I owe so much to IL

I live in WI but work full time in IL.

 

I made 21,043 in IL and paid 640 in WI State taxes but now it says I owe 858 to IL. I thought there was some sort of reciprocating agreement? 

 

I didn't pay any last year.

    If you are a Wisconsin resident who earned wages in Illinois, under the reciprocity agreement you report and pay the taxes to Wisconsin only.  You do not file an Illinois tax return unless you have other non-wage Illinois income.
