Taxes in Illinois as a dependent

karlcam — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 13:42:19 GMT

My son made $2500 in 2022 where $120 in taxes were deducted. He is a dependent and a resident of Florida. $20 were deducted as federal taxes and $100 as Illinois taxes. When I started his tax return as a dependent, the $20 seems to get refunded but not the $100 on the Illinois tax return. Is there any way he can claim those $100 in Illinois taxes?

To claim a refund of the Illinois tax, your son will have to file a non-resident IL tax return.

"Resident of Florida." ....is he a student? You say you are claiming him as a dependent. Do YOU live in IL?
