Almost Tax Season

The Illinois Department of Revenue Readies Taxpayers for the 2023 Tax Season. Taxpayers are advised to gather essential documents, including 2022 AGI, federal return copies, W-2s, and 1099s.

Citizens may also wantg to determine eligibility for tax credits, such as the increased Illinois Earned Income Tax Credit and the Volunteer Emergency Worker Credit.
For filing, MyTax Illinois offers a user-friendly interface with automated calculations and data from previous returns. Alternatives include tax-prep software, professionals, or the paper Form IL-1040.

To expedite refunds, taxpayers should opt for direct deposit and respond promptly to IDOR notices. Extensions are available but require payment by April 15, 2024. The 2023 IL-1040 features a $2,425 personal exemption and extended due date to October 15, 2024. For updates, forms, and instructions, visit tax.illinois.gov ahead of the 2023 tax season.
