IL is the ONLY state that DOES NOT allow you a credit for taxes paid to another state on gambling winnings. Their stance is that IL does not tax nonresidents for gambling winnings they win in IL and IF other state followed this same rule, they would not tax IL residence.. BUT we all know, OTHER states do not follow the same ruling as IL and THEY DO tax IL residents on winnings in their state. This means if you are an IL resident and you win money in another state, you WILL be DOUBLE taxed on that money. You will pay the state taxes to the state you won the money AND you WILL pay IL state taxes on that same money. Another reason to move out of IL. They are penalizing their own residents by double taxing them to make up for the taxes they are not collecting from nonresidents of IL coming to IL and winning money in their casinos! I think it is time for IL to make a change and tax those nonresidents on their winnings they have in IL like EVERY OTHER state does instead of double taxing the heck out of their own residents!
