(Springfield, IL) — The Illinois Department of Revenue will begin accepting 2024 state tax returns on January 27th. That is the same date that the IRS begins accepting federal individual income tax returns. Illinois will be participating in the IRS Direct File program this year. Eligible taxpayers will be able to use the program to electronically complete their 2024 federal tax returns for free. If a taxpayer electronically files an error-free Illinois return, they should receive a direct deposit refund in approximately four weeks.
