Hi I am moving to Texas. I will be travelling back to Illinois to continue my job. I know that I have to file non-resident tax return to Illinois. But will I get that as I refund later? Texas has no state tax but has high property taxes compared to Illinois

Thank you

I think you should consult a CPA. My reasonably good guess is you will not get a refund because Texas does not have a state income tax to net out.

I'm not a CPA, so don't just take my word for it, but I used to work for a California company...while living in Texas. I did not pay state taxes. So I would assume if they are taking state taxes out, you should get a refund when you file your taxes.

I am a consultant and go through this all the time. I live in Texas and work in other states. You will need to pay taxes in the state you are working in. When tax time comes you will file a return in those states as a part time resident. (You don't file anything for TX because we have not income tax)

Depending on the tax laws of the state you were working in you should get some money back. It varies greatly between states. You don't need a CPA though. Turbo tax has a state module and walks you through it. I used that route for years. I use a CPA now but not for multi state reasons.

The OP is traveling to IL so most likely will cross the State minimum to classify as a non-resident. OP will file for state income taxes at IL and the company may give it back to the OP.

I used to work in management consulting and file multi-state returns through my company. In any given year, I would file and pay taxes (every pay check) at other states but the company will refund it to me at the end of the year.
