Are others complaining about how long Illinois State checks are taking? How long should I wait?

When can I expect my Illinois tax refund?
If you file your return electronically and have your refund directly deposited into your checking or savings account, you will receive your refund faster. If you file a paper return, you should allow as long as 15 weeks for your refund.

IL is notoriously slow to pay--IL has lots of budget issues.

Thanks for your comment. I was worried. So if others are waiting, I guess I have to do the same. Thanks again.

I filed direct deposit and I have been waiting 10 weeks. Should I wait longer? I am talking about an Illinois tax refund.

When I checked the link you gave, I found out they made a change that is delaying my refund. Yikes! Thanks

Sorry--but at least now you know what is happening.
