Dear neighbor,

Chances are you are one of the millions of Illinoisans set to receive direct financial relief as part of the Illinois Family Relief Plan I was proud to support during the spring legislative session.

Good news: Rebates started to hit bank accounts the week of Sept. 12.

If you filed 2021 Illinois taxes, you may be eligible to receive up to $700. Individual filers who make less than $200,000 will receive a $50 income tax rebate, and couples who make less than $400,000 will receive $100. Filers are also eligible for $100 per dependent, with a maximum of three.  

Additionally, if you paid property taxes in 2021 on your primary residence in 2020 – and you make less than $250,000 individually or $500,000 jointing – you are eligible for up to $300. Your rebate will be equal to the property tax you were qualified to claim on your 2021 taxes.

If you filed taxes you will automatically receive your rebate – otherwise you have until Oct. 17 to do so.

For more information on how the funds will be dispersed or to see if you qualify visit tax.illinois.gov/rebates.

To check the status of your rebate, click here and select “Where’s My Rebate?” You will need to have your IL-PIN number to check the status. To find your IL-PIN number, click here and select “IL-PIN Inquiry.”

This direct relief will make a significant difference in the lives of people in every corner of our state. If you plan to use your rebate for leisure, I encourage you to shop small and support local.

As always, if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out at 708-848-2002 or donharmon.org.

Best,

Don Harmon

Senate President, 39th District
