Generally, if you qualified for a federal Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), you also qualify for the Illinois EITC. You must complete Schedule IL-E/EIC, Illinois Exemption and Earned Income Credit, to figure your credit amount.
New for 2023! In accordance with Public Act 102-0700, the Illinois EITC was expanded. Taxpayers, who otherwise meet federal income guidelines for the EITC, now qualify for the Illinois EITC if the taxpayer is filing with an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), or without a qualifying child and is at least age 18 or older (including taxpayers over ages 65). To learn more go to Illinois EITC credit webpage.
