Tax filing season begins next week.
Illinois Department of Revenue spokesperson Maura Kownacki says it’s that time of year again.
“The Department of Revenue will start expecting 2021 state individual income tax returns on Monday, January 24th. We encourage tax payers to file their taxes electronically and choose direct deposit to ensure the fastest processing and issuance of any refunds.”
If taxpayers file an error-free return and choose direct deposit, they should receive their refund in about four weeks. Income tax returns are due by Monday, April 18th.
