The IRS probably
More like IL SOS...IRS probably doesn’t c are as much about cheating state taxes since they don’t collect state taxes
We need your money to make Illinois Great Again
Your state government acts like they’ve been smoking for awhile now.
If you live in 1 state yet claim residence in another, you’re evading paying taxes in the actual state you live in.
You’d be committing fraud. If you’re morally ok with this & can sleep at night, no one here can stop you.
To do it legally, you have to actually move to Texas. There is no defined list of actions you can take, courts look at this stuff on a case by case basis. Changing your legal address to Texas is unlikely to be enough. Getting a drivers license in Texas is unlikely to be enough. If challenged in court, a judge will look at totality of the circumstances to make a judgment around whether you actually intended to move.
Do you have a lease, registered car, registered to vote or other clearly residence criteria? Lots of CC or flights in IL?
If you do, the data on you is pretty easy to find if IL, goes to look.
The rich get away with this a lot easier because they spend little time in any one place.

There are actually apps that track hours by location so that it is done legally.
also technically you’re supposed to pay income taxes in the state where you conduct the work. So if you’re working in IL you’d still have to pay the income tax there
As broke as Illinois is, it will soon be trying to claw every dollar from cheats like New York does. They have been known to get cell phone location records from carriers and flight data from airlines to prove the number of work days you were in a state. I expect Illinois to do the same soon.
