How do I track my Illinois tax refund?
You can track your refund at Illinois' Where's My Refund? page.
You'll have to enter the exact amount of your expected refund in whole dollars. You can find this by signing in to TurboTax.
The refund date doesn't include the time it takes for your bank to process a direct deposit or the time it takes for a check to arrive in the mail.
Statement from IDOR: The Illinois Department of Revenue (IDOR) is required to review returns and ensure the amounts requested as refunds are issued accurately and to the legitimate recipient. Once a return is received by IDOR, many different factors can affect the timing of a refund.
Some returns take longer to review than others for many reasons including, but not limited to:
When and how the return was filed
Our current return inventory levels
Identity theft and fraud security measures
The types of income tax credits claimed
The type and amount of a refund
If you need additional help, contact the Illinois Department of Revenue.
