2019 Illinois Tax Refund

By Terry Savage on February 07, 2021 | Wild Card

We are still waiting for our 2019 $1,326 Illinois state tax refund. We filed in March of 2020. I called the IL Dept of Revenue in August of 2020, held for over 30 minutes and finally spoke with a rep who confirmed they had our return. He said we probably wouldn’t get our refund until first quarter of 2021 as they are short-staffed. We are extremely frustrated and living on a fixed income as retirees. Any suggestion on getting our refund ASAP? Sincerely appreciate your help in this. Thank you.

Nope. State government IS shortstaffed. When you file your 2020 return in the next few weeks, include your direct deposit banking information. And you’ll just have to wait for your refund. Illinois is messed up!
