The information below is from the 2022 State of Illinois Tax Rebates website
How will I receive my rebates?
Your rebates will be sent automatically in the method that your original income tax refund was sent if it was sent directly to you by the State of Illinois. If you did not receive a refund, did not file an Illinois income tax return, or are requesting the property tax rebate separately, then your rebate will be sent by paper check to your most recent address on file.
Can I check on the status of my rebates?
Taxpayers can check on the status of their rebates by using the Where's My Rebate? application.
Is my Illinois income tax rebate or my property tax rebate subject to either Illinois or federal income tax?
The Illinois individual income tax rebate and property tax rebate are not subject to Illinois income tax. If you itemize deductions for federal income tax purposes, the rebates may have an impact on your 2022 federal income tax.
What do I need to do to receive the property tax rebate or the individual income tax rebate?
For taxpayers that have filed their 2021 Form IL-1040 and Schedule ICR, Illinois Credits, nothing additional is needed for the property tax rebate and the individual income tax rebate. Your rebates will be sent automatically in the method that your original income tax refund was sent. If you did not receive a refund, then your rebate will be sent by paper check to the address on your return.
If you filed your 2021 Form IL-1040 but did not include your Schedule ICR, then to request the property tax rebate, you must complete and submit on or before October 17, 2022, Form IL-1040-PTR, Property Tax Rebate Form. Submit Form IL-1040-PTR electronically through MyTax Illinois or submit a paper Form IL-1040-PTR.
If you have not already filed Form IL-1040 for 2021, then in order to receive:
Both the property tax and individual income tax rebates – You must file Form IL-1040, including Schedule ICR, Illinois Credits, and Schedule IL-E/EIC, Illinois Exemption and Earned Income Credit, to report any eligible dependents, on or before October 17, 2022.
Only the property tax rebate – You must complete and submit Form IL-1040-PTR, Property Tax Rebate Form, on or before October 17, 2022.
Only the individual income tax rebate – You must file Form IL-1040, including Schedule IL-E/EIC, Illinois Exemption and Earned Income Credit, to report any eligible dependents, on or before October 17, 2022.
Note: If you were not required to file a 2021 federal Form 1040 or 1040-SR, you may still file a 2021 Form IL-1040 or Form IL-1040-PTR to request the rebates. On the Form IL-1040 or IL-1040-PTR, enter zero "0" for Line 1 and follow the Instructions for the form.
