Filing Help for Requesting Individual Income Tax Rebate and Property Tax Rebate

By law, Monday, October 17, 2022, was the last day to submit information to receive the Illinois Income Tax Rebate and Property Tax Rebate (Public Act 102-0700). No filing extensions are allowed. Processing of rebates and issuance of payments will continue after October 17, until all have been issued by the Illinois Comptroller’s Office.

If you have already filed your 2021 IL-1040, Illinois Individual Income Tax Return, and Schedule ICR, Illinois Credits, you do not have to take any action. Your rebates will be issued based upon the information you included on these forms. Certain income restrictions apply, see tax.illinois.gov/rebates for more information.

If you have not filed your 2021 IL-1040 and Schedule ICR, follow the Instructions for your situation below. If applicable, you will need the following items for reference:

  • Your social security number (SSN) or federally assigned taxpayer identification number (ITIN);
  • your federal Form 1040 or 1040-SR if you filed one;
  • any 2021 W-2 or 1099 forms you received; and
  • 2020 property tax bill paid in 2021 for your primary residence.

Situation 1: If you do not have a requirement to file your 2021 Form IL-1040 or you have a requirement to file and have not filed your 2021 Form IL-1040, and you want to request both your individual income tax rebate and your property tax rebate, you will need to complete and submit:
