I live in Illinois and work in Missouri. My employer withheld state taxes for Illinois and Missouri. I am trying to file my taxes online but its stating that since I have 0 earned income in IL but paid taxes that I can not efile. I have an appointment to go in to speak with someone in a few days but its driving me a little crazy not knowing what I should do?

Do I just go in and file with a company and file for both Illinois and Missouri?

You need to prepare a NON-resident state return for MO first, then prepare a state return for IL, the state you live in.

Thank you foe your reply! Because I have 0 earned income in IL but paid taxes to them. Will I be able to file electronically? It kept giving me an error stating that my earned income can not be lower than the taxes paid.

You say the employer listed amounts on your W-2 for both states and withheld tax for both states. Or did I misunderstand? What did they put in box 16 for IL?
