Disaster Tax Relief Information
When taxpayers are affected by a natural disaster, the counties affected may be declared as disaster areas. This may also result in the tax filing and payment due dates being extended. For current disaster declarations and due date extensions for Illinois, please see news releases and informational bulletins.
Taxpayers are also able to request penalty relief based upon reasonable cause due to the disaster. For instructions, see How do I request a waiver of penalty due to reasonable cause? (illinois.gov).
