Taxes question

2 questions:

#1
I am a grad student in Indiana, work in Indiana, but I am an Illinois resident and work in Illinois as well. I have always had to pay for an accountant to file 2 state returns or pay to file 2 returns using turbotax or similar programs. Is there an alternative to paying double?

#2
I am interning this semester and i’ll be graduating in May, for next years taxes, can I write of gas and mileage traveling to and from my internship site?

Thanks in advance!

You cannot write off gas/mileage for going to and from work.

And you are stuck paying taxes in both states…
