My wife and got married in June 2023 and moved to Wisconsin in July 2023. I was an Illinois resident from 01/01/23-07/13/23 and the a Wisconsin resident from 07/14/2023-12/31/2023. My wife was a resident of Indiana from 01/01/23-07/13/23 and a Wisconsin resident from 07/14/23-12/31/23. I am primary on our taxes, on the Illinois NR form it lists my spouse as being a resident of Illinois from 01/01/23-07/13/23 and I cannot change that. Is this correct

You would file a Part Year Resident return to Illinois, and a Part Year Resident return to Wisconsin.

Your spouse would file a Part Year Resident return to Indiana, and a Part Year Resident return (with you) to WI.

The tricky part if you file jointly is to indicate in your IL and IN returns that one spouse is a non-resident.

IL Dept of Revenue says: If you file a joint federal return and one spouse is a full-year Illinois resident while the other is a part-year resident or a nonresident (e.g., military personnel), you may choose to file "married filing separately." Do not recalculate any items on your federal return.

Here's info from Indiana Dept of Revenue on filing and instructions on How to File a Part-Year Resident Return.
