IDOR estimates that taxpayers could begin seeing refunds as
early as February 25th for those choosing the direct deposit payment
method.
“The additional security protocols and deliberate approach have
proven beneficial as numerous fraudulent schemes were identified
last week. Our fraud prevention efforts have slowed down the
issuance of tax return refunds, however, we are confident these
efforts will help ensure refunds get to their rightful owners,”
Illinois Department of Revenue Director Connie Beard said.
2014 Individual Income Tax returns now being processed include those
returns submitted through tax preparers, individual accountants, and
tax preparation software. MyTax Illinois, IDOR’s free filing system,
is scheduled to begin accepting Individual Income Tax returns
beginning in mid-February.
