...states? I moved from Illinois to California in June 2007. I worked full time in both states and have W-2s from both employers.

When I first moved, I lived with family from the beginning of June through October. I moved into my own apartment in November 2007.

In Illinois, I lived in my own (rented) space the entire time.
I have no children and am not married.

Where do I file my taxes? Do I have to file in both states? I use TurboTax (the free version), will that point me in the right direction or do I have to know something going in. . .
I should also say that I have filed my taxes in Illinois in 06, 05, 04 and 03 and in California before that. . .

You should file state taxes in any state you earned money and paid taxes. If they sent you your tax info, file there. Don't forget to file federal taxes, too.
