YOU CAN START FILING YOUR STATE AND FEDERAL TAX RETURNS NEXT WEEK. 

MONDAY IS THE FIRST DAY FOR TAX FILING…AND ILLINOIS DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE SPOKESPERSON SAM SALUSTRO HAS THIS ADVICE.

SALUSTRO SAYS THE QUICKEST WAY TO GET YOUR REFUND IS TO FILE ELECTRONICALLY AND REQUEST DIRECT DEPOSIT. LAST YEAR…ABOUT 88 PERCENT OF ILLINOIS TAXPAYERS OPTED TO E-FILE.

VISIT: TAX DOT ILLINOIS DOT GOV AND CLICK ON “MY TAX ILLINOIS” TO BEGIN FILING YOUR RETURN. TAXES ARE DUE BY APRIL 15TH.
