Eligible Illinois residents have until mid-October to file their 2021 taxes to receive up to $700 in tax rebates as part of the state’s family relief plan.
Residents have until Oct. 17 to file taxes to receive the rebates, with specific amounts being given based upon filing and dependents. Individual filers making less than $200,000 will receive a $50 rebate, and couples making less than $400,000 will receive $100.
Filers can receive an additional $100 per dependent for a maximum of three, if applicable.

Illinoisans with an income “less than $250,000 individually or $500,000” jointly, who also paid 2021 property taxes on their primary residence, will receive up to an additional $300, according to a press release from the Illinois Senate Democrats.
Rebates provided by the government “will be equal to the property tax a resident was qualified to claim on their 2021 taxes,” the release states.
The Illinois Family Relief Plan, supported by state Sen. Meg Loughran Cappel, includes millions of dollars aimed at providing relief in several different ways, including tax rebates.

“I want Illinois families to know they are not alone — we are in your corner to help you navigate this uncertain time,” the state senator said of the rebate legislation. “These rebates will help people with everyday expenses, like gas and groceries. However, should you choose to use it for leisure, please shop local.”
