Illinois State Tax ID Verification - Will This Delay My Refund?

Got a letter saying I need to verify my identity for Illinois state taxes. Does anyone know how long this usually takes? Really hoping this doesn't push my refund back too far.

Tax professional here - Illinois has increased their identity verification measures this year due to fraud. The verification process typically takes 2-3 weeks once you complete it. Make sure to respond quickly to avoid further delays. You can verify online through the MyTax Illinois portal or by phone.

Yes, you can still verify! Just go to MyTax Illinois portal and look for the ID verification section. You'll need your drivers license and social though

Hey everyone! I've been helping people with transcript analysis lately, and I found this amazing tool called taxr.ai. Its only $1 and gives you a complete breakdown of your refund status, verification requirements, and estimated timeline. Way better than guessing or waiting on hold with the IRS for hours.

100% legit! Been using it for months. It basically uses AI to read your transcript and explain everything in plain english. Saved me so much time 💯
