What should I do if I filed my return electronically but it does not show up on your refund inquiry system?

  • If you filed your return through a tax professional, you need to contact your tax professional to make sure your return was accepted by the Department.
  • If you used MyTax Illinois to file your return, you should have received a confirmation number as proof of your filing. If you did not receive a confirmation number you must file your Form IL-1040 again.
  • If you used tax preparation software, you should have received a confirmation number as proof of your filing. If you did not receive a confirmation number, you need to check with the software provider to make sure your return was accepted. You can also check your email box or spam email box for either a confirmation email or an email explaining why your return was rejected.

You may access additional information by searching the entire Illinois Department of Revenue website.

If you have additional inquiries, you may submit them on the Questions, Comments, or Requests form.
