More than 5 million Illinoisans have now received their income and property tax rebates from Governor JB Pritzker’s Family Relief Plan.
State Department of Revenue spokesperson Maura Kownacki says 96 percent of rebates to qualifying taxpayers have been sent out, totaling over $ 1 billion.
“The rebate payments which were issued over the course of several weeks were automatically sent to Illinois residents who filed 2021 State Income Taxes and claimed a property tax credit. Those who did not file were still able to see rebates after completing an additional filing.”
Lee than four percent of taxpayers may still be awaiting their rebates. In most cases, this is because they either filed their state income tax returns later in the year or are responding to questions from the department.
