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.

Giovanni Colombo

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.

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
