We get this question all tax season long. Where is my Illinois tax refund? Although Illinois isn’t promising to pay any faster, they are now offering a new tax-return alert system so you will know the status of your income-tax refund much quicker.
Illinois Comptroller, Leslie Geissler Munger is urging taxpayers to register online to check the status of their returns. By signing up for the IL tax-return alert system, taxpayers can check on the status of their refund and also elect to receive a text message and email payment notification once their refund has been processed. Simply visit Leslie Geissler Munger’s website at Illinois State Comptroller and sign up for “Find My Refund”. It’s as simple as entering your Social Security number and first and last name. If your refund has not been processed, be sure to include your email address and/or mobile phone number so you can be alerted right away when your payment is on its way!
Munger also announced that her office will include inserts with all tax returns detailing where the state spent $36.7 billion in 2014, information on the state’s bill backlog, and a spending breakdown on everything from Education and Medicaid to Human Services and Corrections, plus other tools to help taxpayers learn about state and local finances. Taxpayers who receive their tax refunds through direct deposit may view the tax insert digitally if they register for the tax refund alert system.
