Hello,
I'm on a F1 visa in Illinois and was working in my univ. from Jan-May 2008 and got a tuition waiver. From June-Dec 2008, I was a paid intern in Missouri as part of my CPT and lived in Saint Louis for that period. Do I file state taxes in both IL and MO or should I file only in IL because I was a full-time student in IL for the whole of 2008?
I also got two W-2s from my employee in St.Louis for the period june-dec 2008 with different amounts for the state wages & income tax on them. So, right now, I have three W-2s; one from my univ in IL and two from my employer in MO. Please let me know what steps I should follow? Is it better to go to a tax professional and actually show my W-2s for better filing of taxes? If so, which ones are good and inexpensive?
