I live in WI and won some money in IL. For the IL state portion, it's asking me how much of the $X.XX I earned while working in IL. Since all of that amount that is shown was from gambling and not working, am I supposed to enter a zero?

No, do not enter "0". Although "earned" implies a job, you acquired the money from activities you performed in IL. The winnings will be taxable in IL and WI.

In IL for 2021 tax returns, these are the filing thresholds for people who are not claimed as dependent on someone else’s return. If you earned less than the designated amount for your age and filing status, you are not required to file a return.

Single $12,400

Married filing jointly $24,800
