After you file

If your federal refund was bigger than $183 then you will receive the difference. If the offset message says your Illinois tax was paid on February 9 it means $183 of your refund was sent to the Illinois Department of Revenue.

 

You can call Illinois to confirm at 1 800 732-8866 or 217 782-3336. Representatives are available Monday through Friday, 8 am - 5 pm. Our TDD (telecommunication device for the deaf) number is 1 800 544-5304.
