Do you have to file Indiana taxes on gambling winnings if you are an Illinois resident?

Answer 1

You have to file an Indiana return if your income from Indiana sources (including gambling winnings) is more than the amount of your Indiana exemptions. You can find out the amount of your Indiana exemptions here:

You'll want to file an Indiana return in order to get a refund if Indiana tax was withheld and you are not required to file an Indiana return.

You can claim a credit on your Illinois taxes for your Indiana tax liability (the amount you paid or was withheld minus any refund you are entitled to) by attaching Schedule CR to your Illinois return:

Answer 3

Yes and very often the casino will file a 1099 and withhold federal and state income taxes just to make sure you don't forget later. A good similar situation are sports stars when they play in Cleveland they pay Ohio income tax and Cleveland city tax.
