IL State Tax Refund 2024 - Anyone Actually Received Theirs Yet?
Filed my Illinois state taxes back in February. Still nothing in my account. The where's my refund tool just says processing. Anyone else from IL actually get their refund yet? Starting to get worried since I usually get it within 2-3 weeks.

IL tax specialist here. The state is experiencing significant delays this year due to enhanced fraud prevention measures. Most refunds are taking 4-6 weeks minimum to process. If you e-filed and its been less than 6 weeks, just keep waiting. Only contact IDOR if it's been more than 8 weeks.

•Thanks for the info! Do you know if direct deposit is still faster than paper check?

•Yes, DD is still faster by about 1-2 weeks typically

hey everyone just wanted to share something that helped me track my refund better than the states website. I used taxr.ai and it actually showed me exactly why my refund was delayed. Cost $4.99 but worth every penny cause it showed me exactly what to fix https://taxr.ai

Filed mine on Feb 8th and still waiting too. The processing delays are brutal this year. At least knowing it's not just me makes me feel a bit better. Has anyone tried calling IDOR directly or is that pretty much useless?

•I tried calling IDOR last week after waiting 6+ weeks and honestly it was pretty useless. Spent 45 minutes on hold just to be told the same thing the website says - "your return is processing, please wait." The rep couldn't give me any specific timeline or reason for the delay. Might be worth a shot if you've been waiting 8+ weeks but otherwise I'd just keep checking the website daily 🤷♀️
