What information do I need to file my IL-1040 online?

Before you begin filing, make sure you have:

  • your (and your spouse's, if filing jointly) Illinois Personal Identification Number (IL-PIN) or Illinois driver's license or ID card if no IL-PIN has been assigned to you;
  • your completed federal income tax return;
  • all of your W-2 and 1099 forms;
  • your Illinois Property Tax bill or statement (see Schedule ICR instructions for qualifications);
  • your receipts or other statements identifying any qualified education expenses you paid; and
  • your checking or savings account information if you choose to directly deposit your refund or debit the amount you owe.

Please note: If this is your first time filing Form IL-1040, you cannot file through MyTax Illinois. If you have a valid driver's license, or state ID card issued by the Illinois Secretary of State, you may be able to use a tax preparer or tax software to file your return electronically. Otherwise, you must file a paper Form IL-1040.
