State tax filing

Being younger than 18  does not matter for your Illinois state tax return.  It does matter, however, if you are claimed a dependent on another person's return; your taxes will be up to $113 more if you are.

 

Otherwise, your federal adjusted gross income (with any applicable additions or subtractions) is subjected to Ilinois income tax at a rate of 4.95%.  That Illinois tax amount is compared to what was withheld from your paycheck and reported in box 17 of your W-2.  The difference is a refund or more tax due.
