When I filed my federal taxes, my Illinois state forms were not available. Now they are available, but my state refund decreased by several hundred dollars. Why?

I suspect the PDF-file and Refund tax return is based on 2016 IL rates, and not the new 2017 blended rate.

ON 29 Jan, the IL tax forms were updated to the new 2017 Rates

1) Check the top of your IL-1040....does it say 2016 or 2017?

2) IF the primary PDF you downloaded came from your Tax home top screen, try this secondary PDF download and see what that says (give it a new PDF name so that id doesn't overwrite your first one.)

__________________________________________________

First, if you just filed, you need to wait until the IRS (and state if that was filed)) accepts your tax return.

Then wait another 24 hours

Then...........Carefully get back into your 2017 tax file.

1) You do that by clicking on "Add A State" just below the state showing in the left panel.

*****That doesn't do anything but get you into your 2017 file. Do NOT change anything.

2) then go to the left side and go into the "Tax Tools" menu to find the "Print Center" print out or save your tax return PDF file that way to see what's in it.

Don't be tempted to change anything else in your file

If you haven't filed IL yet, you can do so now, but you will need to go the "Add A State" to get in to finish the filing process, and use the"Print Center" route every time to see your proper/final e-filed PDF.
