Hi I was on F1 visa last year(2010). I went to school in GA. But did a summer internship in IL for 3 months. I also had a student job while I was at the university. So I have both GA and IL state tax withheld. I filed 1040NREZ and got my federal tax return for 2010. I have still not done any state return. Can I still file state tax returns. If so,which forms do I use. Will I get any return on the 3% IL income tax that has been withheld?Please help.Thanks.

As an international student, by law you are a NON-resident of both Georgia and Illinois.

However, you still must pay taxes to each state for the income earned while located in that state. So, for the 3-motnh internship, you will file an Illinois return, while you will pay taxes to Georgia for the student job.

If you still need help filing these state returns, contact me at [email protected].
