CHICAGO – The Illinois Department of Revenue announced last week that income and property tax rebates have been issued to over 5.1 million qualified taxpayers, totaling over one billion. The rebates were the result of the Illinois Family Relief Plan which also provided grocery, gas, and school supply tax savings. IDOR certified the list of eligible taxpayers, and the rebates were issued by the Comptroller’s Office.
“A once-in-a-lifetime pandemic has led to a very unusual economic moment and in challenging times like these, it’s more important than ever to have a government whose first focus is on working families,” said Governor JB Pritzker.
Less than four percent of qualified taxpayers may still be awaiting their rebates. This includes taxpayers who filed their state income tax returns later in the year, and those currently having to respond to IDOR inquiries regarding their rebates.
