SPRINGFIELD — The Illinois Department of Revenue (IDOR) reminds taxpayers the state individual income tax filing and payment deadline is July 15th.
This year’s deadline was extended three months by Governor JB Pritzker in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
To date, 5.3 million Illinois taxpayers have filed their 2019 Illinois individual income tax return, which is approximately 85% of expected returns.
Of those, 3.3 million taxpayers have received refunds totaling $1.4 billion.
Both state and federal returns are due on July 15.
“It is time to file your taxes if you have not already done so and we stand ready to assist,” said IDOR Director David Harris.
The fastest way to receive a refund is to file electronically and select the direct deposit option.
Individuals needing support may call IDOR’s telephone assistance hotline at 1-800-732-8866.
All Illinois taxpayers can file their Form IL-1040 free using the MyTax Illinois website.
