No. We do not issue an IL-PIN for first time filers with Illinois. First time filers are also unable to file their IL-1040, Illinois Individual Income Tax Return, through MyTax Illinois. You can use a tax professional or tax preparation software to file your individual income tax return or file a paper IL-1040. Once you file a return with us, we will issue you an IL-PIN.
