I am a consultant working for a company that exists in California. The client is in illinois and I also live in Illinois. My W-2 from my company shows California as the state taking taxes. How do I prepare my tax return? Do i need to report taxes to California?

Is it a temporary assignment for a set period of one year or less? In other words do you have a residence in CA and are your living expenses in IL deductible. See http://www.irs.gov/publications/p463/ch01.html#en_US_publink100033764

If you live and work in IL for an indefinite period of time (or over a year), you should tell your employer to withhold IL tax. IL Dept of Revenue http://www.revenue.state.il.us/

If it is too late for your employer to correct your W-2 you would need to file non-resident in CA to get your CA withholding back (hope you don’t get an IOU) http://www.ftb.ca.gov/forms/2008/index.shtml

Which forms you file for each state depend whether you lived in IL the entire year or moved here during the year.

Hi, I am a Illinois resident and currently doing an internship in Florida.
I will be here only for 13 weeks and my expected income from this internship is $9880. I also have other sources of income from illinois, so my expected total income for this year will be around 45~50K.
I heard that when I file an income tax report in Illinois, I will have to pay state income tax to Illinois for the Florida income portion, since Florida does not collect income tax.

Out of the income of $9880, how much should I put aside?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

Without considering any exemptions, the Illinois rate is 3%.

How come the illinois tollway hired a property management company to handle the lasses of the oasis’s rather then handle the leases them selves? Please let me know thank you.

Then Rezko and Blago got involve with Panda Express Subway and Exxon Mobile. $$$$ .The telephones were maintained by the Nation of Islam lol. A minority business racket. One wonder why downstate voters hates Chicago politicians lol. What gets me why are we not getting the money like Bush gave his good ole boys in Texas? Give Obama time I guess.

What about the Mississippi river? Is it alot deeper than the Illinois? I live between both rivers and was just curious.

The average depth along the Illinois River is about 23 feet. This level is artificially maintained by a series of dams and basins along the river. It’s reported that a depth of over 60 feet has been record in one of these basin areas and is most likely the deepest part of the illinois River.

A number of canals make the Illinois commercial navigable from Lake Michigan to the Mississippi River.

What’s amazing about the Mississippi is that at its head waters the depth is around three feet, but as it passes through New Orleans it reaches depths of 200 feet!

Odd little tidbit: Geologists think the Illinois river was formed in a matter of days when the Wisconsin Glacier went through a rapid melt off 10,000 years ago!

Pretty cool….

How long do you have to wait after getting your illinois licence before you can driver with more than 1 non family member in your car?

For the first year of licensing, or until the driver is age 18, whichever occurs first, the number of passengers is limited to one person under age 20, unless the additional passenger(s) is a sibling, step-sibling, child, or step-child of the driver.

After this period, the number of passengers is limited to one in the front seat and the number of safety belts in the back seat.

I believe I have heard that there is an illinois law that set a distance between changes in speed limits and how much the speed limit can change. I was driving in an area last night where the speed limit went very quickly from 55 down to 45 down to 35 down to 30. This all happened in less than a mile. Can this be done?

Just a guess but apparently there is no such law or you wouldn’t see that because I’m sure people in charge of posting speed limit signs are up on that stuff (highway dep’t)
