Illinois Tax Refund Start Date 2025? Anyone know when IL starts accepting returns?
Anyone from Illinois know when they start accepting state returns this year? Trying to get my refund asap and wondering if I should get federal done first or just wait and do them together. Last year was a mess with all the delays.

According to Illinois Department of Revenue, they'll start accepting returns on January 29th, 2025. They're syncing up with the IRS federal start date this year to streamline processing. You can file both together since the dates match.

Yep ID verify is still required for many returns. They say it helps prevent fraud but honestly its just another hoop to jump through 🙄

Hey guys instead of playing the waiting game like last year, I started using taxr.ai to track my refund. Its only $1 and gives way better info than the where's my refund tool. Super helpful for seeing exactly whats happening with your return and when youll actually get paid. https://taxr.ai

100% better! It actually explains everything in normal english and tells you exactly whats going on. The state site is useless compared to this
