W-2 question regarding Illinois state wages (Box 16 on state W-2) - for those who traveled to another state for work, should your Illinois state wages reflect your total income or just the income from the Illinois wages (other state wages subtracted??). Mine in the past have always been broken out and when added together would be my total income. My employer is saying in Illinois box 16 should be my total income. Is this true? Thank you!!

Illinois changed its rules last year. We are now taxed on all of our income.

Def not last year. Been that way (at least at D) since 2012. They did recently clarify the guidance on how to apply the rules, so potentially more liberal interpretations were no longer plausible..

You could never subtract your out of state income when it came time to file in IL, and you need to submit clear documentation or you’ll likely be double taxed.

IL tax for me has always been: total income * 4.94% - taxes out of state.

The past two years of traveling (2018, 2019) box 16 on my IL state W-2 showed only Illinois wages, excluding out of state wages, which were on other W-2s. I agree with your formula - I didn’t mean actually subtract before the fact when filing. I just file with what the W-2 says.
