2023 IL-1040 Schedule NR Instructions
General Information
What is the purpose of Schedule NR?
Schedule NR, Nonresident and Part-Year Resident Computation of Illinois Tax, allows part-year or nonresidents of Illinois to determine the income that is taxed by Illinois during the tax year and to figure Illinois Income Tax.
Attach: Schedule NR to Form IL-1040, Individual Income Tax Return.
What if I was a nonresident of Illinois for the entire tax year?
If you were a nonresident of Illinois during the entire tax year, you must complete and file Form IL-1040 and Schedule NR if you
- earned enough taxable income from Illinois sources to have a tax liability (i.e., your Illinois base income from Schedule NR is greater than your Illinois exemption allowance on Schedule NR), or
- are entitled to a refund of Illinois Income Tax that was withheld from your pay in error.
Note: If you were not a resident of Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, or Wisconsin, you must attach a statement from your employer, on company letterhead, indicating that your wages were not earned in Illinois and Illinois tax was withheld in error.
What if I was a resident of a reciprocal state for the tax year, I was a resident of another state living in Illinois only to accompany my spouse who was stationed in Illinois for military service, or I was a spouse who elected to use my service member spouse’s state of residence for tax purposes pursuant to the Veterans Benefits and Transition Act of 2018?
If you were an Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, or Wisconsin resident or a military spouse, and earned income in Illinois, you are exempt from paying Illinois Income Tax on income you earned from salaries, wages, tips, and other employee compensation. You are exempt because Illinois has a reciprocal agreement with these states or because military spouse wages are taxable to the state of residence. You must file Form IL‑W‑5‑NR, Employee’s Statement of Nonresidence in Illinois, with your employer to be entitled to exemption from withholding. If you are a resident of a reciprocal state or a military spouse, you do not have to file Form IL-1040 and Schedule NR unless you
- earned income in Illinois from sources other than wages paid to you as an employee, or
- had Illinois Income Tax withheld from your pay in error.
What if I was a nonresident professional athlete?
All nonresident members of a professional athletic team are subject to Illinois Income Tax on the Illinois portion of their total compensation for services performed as a member of such a team. For more information, see Publication 130, Who is Required to Withhold Illinois Income Tax, or refer to “What if I need additional assistance or forms?” below.
What if I was an Illinois resident for part of the tax year?
If you were a resident of Illinois during part of the tax year, you are considered a part-year resident and must complete and file Form IL-1040 and Schedule NR if you
- earned or received income from any source while you were an Illinois resident,
- earned or received income from Illinois sources while you were not an Illinois resident, or
- are entitled to receive a refund of Illinois Income Tax.
As a part-year resident, the rules you use to determine Illinois income and tax depend on whether or not you were a resident of Illinois when you received the income.
If you were a resident of Illinois when you received the income, you will (within certain limitations) be taxed on 100 percent of the income you received while you were a resident, regardless of the source.
If you were a nonresident of Illinois when you received the income, you will be taxed only on the income you received from Illinois sources.
When completing Schedule NR, you must include in Column B of each line the income you received during the time you were a resident and the Illinois income you received during the time you were not a resident. See “Part-Year Resident Step-by-Step Instructions” for details.
Use the same method of reporting that you use for filing your federal return. Report your income when you receive it and your deductions when they are paid. However, if you use the accrual method, “received” means “earned or received.” Income that you received through partnerships, S corporations, trusts, or estates is considered received on the last day of the entity’s tax year.
Note: Temporary absences from Illinois during the tax year do not qualify you for part-year resident status.
What if I received income from a business or a farm during the tax year?
If, while you were a nonresident of Illinois, you received
- business income earned both inside and outside Illinois, or
- farm income earned both inside and outside Illinois,
you must complete the Business or Farm Income Apportionment Formula (IAF) Worksheet. The IAF Worksheet allows you to figure the Illinois portion of your business or farm income. Be sure to keep a copy of this worksheet with your income tax records.
What is business income?
Business income is income you earned or received from any activity that you took part in during the regular course of your trade or business. It does not include wages or other compensation you received as an employee. It includes all income (other than compensation) that may be apportioned by formula among the states in which you are doing business without violating the Constitution of the United States. All income (other than compensation) you received is business income unless it is clearly attributable to only one state and is earned or received through activities totally unrelated to any business you are conducting in more than one state. Business income is net of all deductions attributable to that income.
What if I received income from partnerships, S corporations, trusts, or estates?
If you received income from an Illinois partnership or S corporation, that entity is required to send you an Illinois Schedule K-1-P, Partner’s or Shareholder’s Share of Income, Deductions, Credits, and Recapture. Also, the entity is required to send you the partner’s and shareholder’s instructions for completing Schedule NR.
If you received income from an Illinois trust or estate, that entity is required to send you an Illinois Schedule K-1-T, Beneficiary’s Share of Income and Deductions. Also the entity is required to send you the beneficiary’s instructions for completing Schedule NR.
Note: If you are a nonresident and your only income in Illinois is from one or more partnerships, S corporations, or trusts that made sufficient pass-through withholding on your behalf to cover your Illinois Income Tax liability, you are not required to file a Form IL-1040.

Nonresident Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Provide the following information
Line 1: Check the “Yes” box if
- you were a full-year resident of Illinois during the tax year, or
- your filing status is “married filing jointly” and your spouse was a full-year resident of Illinois during the tax year.
Check the “No” box if
- you are not filing a joint return, and you were not a full-year resident of Illinois during the tax year, or
- you are filing a joint return, and neither you nor your spouse was a full-year resident of Illinois during the tax year.
Note: If you check the “Yes” box on Line 1, you cannot use Schedule NR. If you file your Illinois return indicating your filing status as “married filing jointly” and one spouse is a full-year resident of Illinois, both spouses must use full-year residency status. However, if you are filing a joint federal return and one spouse is an Illinois resident while the other is a full-year nonresident, you may choose to file with Illinois as “married filing separately.” In this case, do not recompute any items on your federal return. Instead, you must divide each item of income and deduction shown on your joint federal return between your separate Illinois returns following the Allocation Worksheet in the Form IL-1040 Instructions. The spouse filing as a nonresident must attach a completed Schedule NR.
Lines 2a and 2b: Full-year nonresidents, skip these lines.
Line 3: If you were a resident of Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, or Wisconsin, during any part of the tax year, were living in Illinois only to accompany your military service member spouse who was stationed in Illinois or if you elected to use your service member spouse’s state of residence for tax purposes, check the appropriate box.

Part-Year Resident Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Provide the following information
Line 1: Check the “Yes” box if
- you were a full-year resident of Illinois during the tax year, or
- your filing status is “married filing jointly,” and your spouse was a full-year resident of Illinois during the tax year.
Check the “No” box if
- you are not filing a joint return, and you were not a full-year resident of Illinois during the tax year, or
- you are filing a joint return, and neither you nor your spouse was a full-year resident of Illinois during the tax year.
Note: If you check the “Yes” box on Line 1, you cannot use Schedule NR. If you file your Illinois return indicating your filing status as “married filing jointly” and one spouse is a full-year resident of Illinois, you must file your return using full-year residency status. However, if you are filing a joint federal return and one spouse is an Illinois resident while the other is a part-year resident, you may choose to file with Illinois as “married filing separately.” In this case, do not recompute any items on your federal return. Instead, you must divide each item of income and deduction shown on your joint federal return between your separate Illinois returns following the Allocation Worksheet in the Form IL-1040 Instructions. The spouse filing as a part-year resident must attach a completed Schedule NR.
As a part-year resident, you may be allowed to take a credit against Illinois Income Tax for income tax you paid to another state if the income you earned while an Illinois resident is also being taxed by another state. See the instructions for Form IL-1040, Line 16 and Schedule CR, Credit for Tax Paid to Other States.
Line 2a: Enter the dates that you lived in Illinois during the tax year, the name of the other state where you lived during the tax year, and the dates you lived in the other state. Attach a separate sheet of paper with this information if you need more room.
Line 2b: If your filing status is “married filing jointly,” enter the dates your spouse lived in Illinois during the tax year, the name of the other state where your spouse lived during the tax year, and the dates your spouse lived in the other state. Attach a separate sheet of paper with this information if you need more room.
Note: You must enter dates that fall within the tax year (January 2023 through December 2023, for calendar-year filers) on Lines 2a and 2b. For example, if you or your spouse
- began living in Illinois on or before January 1, 2023, enter 01/01/23.
- began living in Illinois after January 1, 2023, enter the actual month, day, and year you began living in Illinois.
- moved out of Illinois on or after December 31, 2023, enter 12/31/23.
- moved out of Illinois before December 31, 2023, enter the actual month, day, and year you moved out of Illinois.
Line 3: If you were a resident of Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, or Wisconsin, during any part of the tax year or were living in Illinois only to accompany your military service member spouse who was stationed In Illinois, check the appropriate box.
Note: If you check the military spouse box, attach the military service member’s Form W-2 showing military wages.
Line 4: If you earned income or filed an income tax return in any state other than those listed on Lines 2 and 3, enter the two-digit abbreviation of the state(s) on the lines provided.
Step 2: Complete Form IL-1040
Complete Lines 1 through 10 of your Form IL-1040 as if you were a full-year Illinois resident. Follow the Form IL-1040 Instructions.
Step 3: Figure the Illinois portion of your federal adjusted gross income
