The state is starting to send out tax rebates to millions of eligible Illinoisans.
State Department of Revenue Director David Harris says about six million taxpayers qualify for the rebates, which includes $50 for each adult and $100 for each child, up to three kids.
“On the property tax side, up to $300 for a property tax rebate for those who claimed a credit on their return. The Income Tax and Property Tax Rebates will be combined into a single payment.”
Most people won’t have to do anything and will receive the money via direct deposit. Others will get a check in the mail. It will take six to eight weeks to disperse all the money. More details about the rebate program are available online at: tax.illinois.gov/rebates.
