2025 Illinois Tax Amnesty

What is the 2025 Illinois Tax Amnesty Program?

Public Act 104-0006 (HB 2755), amends the Illinois Tax Delinquency Amnesty Act and provides the opportunity for taxpayers to pay certain outstanding tax liabilities and to have penalties and interest waived for taxes paid in full during the amnesty period.

Eligible tax liabilities and returns must be paid and filed during those dates to qualify for the waiver of penalty and interest.

An informational bulletin and additional instructions are under development and will be posted soon. Check back for updates.

Individuals paying an individual income tax liability can schedule a payment using their checking or savings account at MyTax Illinois. (Payments must be made during the amnesty program period.) You can

  • make a payment without setting up a MyTax Illinois account or
  • if you wish to also view correspondence and balances, you can create your own MyTax Illinois account and pay. If you would like to create a MyTax Illinois account, you must select the option to “Request a Letter ID” during the registration process, which can take up to 10 days to receive. If you do not have an account set up before November 17, 2025, you should select another method of payment.

Note: You must have a previous year Form IL-1040, Illinois Individual Income Tax Return, on file with IDOR to use MyTax Illinois. If you are unsure, you can check the IL-PIN inquiry using your Social Security number and Driver's License or State ID number.  To make a payment or create an account in the MyTax Illinois system, you will be required to input the account number (IL-PIN) assigned to you. If there is no IL-PIN assigned to you, choose another payment option.

Additional instructions are under development and will be posted soon. Check back for updates.
