Illinois Department of Revenue - Federal State Exchange Unit (FSEU)

The Federal State Exchange Unit is an Illinois Income Tax Division that uses the federal tax information exchanged between the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Illinois Department of Revenue (IDOR) to perform examinations of individual income tax returns. This exchange is authorized under the Internal Revenue Code Section 6103(d).

The Notice of Proposed Tax Due (ITR-61-G and ITR-61-S) is the first notification issued regarding an examination of a tax return. This notice is issued if the information we have available indicates there is a potential tax due and includes information on when and how to respond. Enclosed with the Notice of Proposed Tax Due is an EDA-131, Examiner's Report.

The Notice of Unclaimed Earned Income Credit - Illinois Individual Income Tax Refund Eligibility (ITR-61-EIC) is a notification issued regarding information we have available that indicates there is a potential tax refund due to an unclaimed Illinois Earned Income Tax Credit (EIC) and includes information on when and how to respond. Enclosed with the Notice of Unclaimed Earned Income Credit - Illinois Individual Income Tax Refund Eligibility is an EDA-131, Examiner's Report.

The Examiner's Report (EDA-131), is a detailed notification of the proposed changes made to your Illinois Income Tax Return. The information in this report should be compared to your federal and state tax records for accuracy. If you agree to the proposed tax due or to claim the proposed refund, sign this document and return it to the IDOR. If you disagree, see below.

If you do not agree with the information on the Examiner's Report, then you should follow the directions provided on the included Notice to respond. You must support your claim with your tax records and include any required support for your changes.

If you are changing the federal tax information such as the federal adjusted gross income, filing status, exemptions, or earned income tax credit, we will accept an IRS Account Transcript as support to correct your federal tax information. You may obtain your IRS account transcript by visiting www.irs.gov/individuals/get-transcript and using the "Get Transcript Online" option.

If you are changing the state tax information such as your additions, subtractions, credits, or payments, we will accept support identified on our standard form, schedules, and publications.
