Am I an Illinois resident if I live in Illinois while attending school?

Living in Illinois to attend school does not make you an Illinois resident. If you are a resident of another state, you are a nonresident of Illinois for tax purposes.

If you earned income in Illinois while attending school then you may be required to file an income tax return in Illinois, as a nonresident. See FAQ 709 for more information.

You may access additional information by searching the entire Illinois Department of Revenue website.

If you have additional inquiries, you may submit them on the Questions, Comments, or Requests form.
