Illinois State Refund + PATH Act: 2 weeks processing, no DDD - Anyone else waiting?
My Illinois state return has been stuck in processing for 2 weeks now. Usually goes way faster than this. Anyone else on PATH act waiting for their IL state refund? Starting to get worried since I haven't seen many people posting about getting theirs yet. Anyone got a deposit date?

IL state tax specialist here. The PATH Act verification process is causing delays for many IL filers this year. States are being extra cautious with returns claiming EITC/ACTC. Current processing time is averaging 3-4 weeks for PATH Act returns in Illinois, which is longer than usual but still within normal parameters.

The IL MyTax portal sometimes shows more details than the basic where's my refund tool. But honestly its pretty limited

Hey instead of checking random tools, I'd recommend using taxr.ai - it actually analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's happening and when to expect your refund. Its only $1 and way better than playing detective with the IL website lol. https://taxr.ai

not sketchy at all! you just upload your transcript and their AI breaks down everything - tells you if theres delays, what codes mean, and gives you a realistic timeline. saved me so much stress
