Deductions & credits

You can take, as a subtraction against Illinois income, the portion of the $1,000 that relates to the portion of your investment that was exempt from federal tax, but taxable by Illinois.

If your entire portfolio is the federally tax-exempt income, you can claim the entire expense.  If, say, 25% of the portfolio is reflected by this income, you can claim 25%.  Make a reasonable estimate.

See Schedule M IL-1040 Instructions for more information.
