The Illinois Department of Revenue is encouraging Illinoisans to take advantage of savings offered by the newly expanded Illinois Earned Income Tax Credit, a benefit that helps low to moderate income workers get a tax break.
For tax year 2023, coverage has been expanded to include taxpayers with an IRS-issued Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, as well as workers ages 18 to 24 and over 65. Taxpayers eligible for the federal Earned Income Tax Credit automatically qualify for the Illinois credit.
