Clever scams .

By Terry Savage on August 27, 2026 | Wild Card

Got letter that said I need to pay more tax to Illinois but I already paid in April. Taxes were done through ARRP taxaid. Something about because I paid over 1,000 to Illinois.
Now I’m to pay over $100 each 3 months.
This looks like a Scam ?!

Looks like a scam to me, too! Just trash the letter. If the Illinois Department of Revenue wants to find you a second time, it will.
