Illinois State Tax Refund Status

You can check the status of your Illinois refund online at the Illinois Department of Revenue website.

To check your status, make sure you have the following ready:

Primary Social Security Number (SSN)
The first four letters of the last name

If you file your return electronically and have your refund directly deposited into your checking or savings account, you will receive your refund faster.

If you file a paper return, you should allow as long as 15 weeks for your refund.
