Illinois DOR Accepting Tax forms

The Illinois Department of Revenue says it will begin accepting and processing 2025 tax returns a week from today– the same date the Internal Revenue Service begins accepting federal income tax returns.
      Illinois will take part in the IRS Direct File program this year.
      Eligible taxpayers will be able to use the program to electronically complete their 2024 federal tax returns for free.
      You can figure out your eligibility by visiting directfile.irs.gov.
      After filing a federal return using Direct File, the program will connect taxpayers to Illinois’ free state income tax filing system, MyTax Illinois, allowing them to file and complete their Illinois state returns.
