Illinois State Tax Refund Acceptance Status Check 2025

Filed my Illinois state return 3 weeks ago and its still showing as processing. The wmr tool shows accepted but nothing since then. Anyone else waiting on their IL refund? Starting to get worried since I usually get it within 2 weeks.

IL tax specialist here - The state is currently experiencing longer than usual processing times. Most returns are taking 4-6 weeks minimum. If you filed with all correct information and no flags, you should see movement soon.

Honestly, calling rarely helps speed things up. They'll just tell you to keep waiting 🤷‍♂️

Hey guys, I've been using taxr.ai (https://taxr.ai) and it's been super helpful tracking both federal and state refunds. It costs $4.99 but totally worth it - gives you specific dates and flags any issues that might delay things.

Does it actually work for state returns too? Or just federal?

Works for both! It's especially good at catching those weird state-specific holds that can slow things down.
