Credits

Refundable Credits

A refundable credit is a credit towards your Illinois income tax that is first applied to your tax balance and then can be refunded to you.

Non-Refundable Credits

A non-refundable credit is a credit towards your Illinois income tax that is only applied to your tax balance. It cannot be refunded; however, it is applied to your tax balance before withholding and payments, which, in turn, can be refunded. Some credits can be carried forward to future income tax balances for a certain amount of years. These credits are usually claimed on Schedule 1299-C.
