How do I cancel or reschedule an income tax return electronic payment?
- If you scheduled a payment through MyTax Illinois, you can login to your account and cancel any pending payment.
- If you scheduled a payment through a credit card or your bank, you must contact your financial institution to stop the payment. (Financial institution stop payment fees may apply.)
- If you scheduled a payment through a tax professional or by using tax preparation software, you may cancel your payment or request the date be changed. You must email us at REV.taxpay@illinois.gov to make a payment cancellation no later than 11:59 p.m. CT, two business days prior to the scheduled payment date and include ALL of the following information:
- Your first and last name or your company name if you are a business
