The Illinois Department of Revenue (“IDOR”) will begin accepting 2017 state individual income tax returns Monday, January 29, the same date that the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) begins accepting federal individual income tax returns.

IDOR is reminding taxpayers that filing tax returns electronically and requesting direct deposit into a checking or savings account is still the fastest, most secure way to receive a refund. IDOR begins this tax season with a continued focus on protecting taxpayers and state government against fraud.
