Illinois State Senate District 33 issued the following announcement on July 13.
The Illinois Department of Revenue (IDOR) is reminding taxpayers that the deadline to file and pay state individual income taxes is just a few days away. This year’s deadline was extended from April 15 to July 15 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The state’s new deadline also aligns with the extended federal tax deadline, meaning both state and federal returns are due on July 15.
So far, a total of 5.3 million Illinois taxpayers have already filed their 2019 Illinois individual income tax return, which is around 85 percent of expected returns this year. To date, $1.4 billion in refunds have been returned to 3.3 million taxpayers. The fastest way to receive a refund is to file a tax return electronically and request direct deposit into a checking or savings account.
