Governor JB Pritzker announced the rollout of 2022 Illinois tax rebates. About 6 million taxpayers will get property and income tax rebate checks.
Those who made less than $200,000 in 2021 and are not claimed as a dependent on another return will receive $50 rebates. Couples filing jointly with incomes under $400,000 will receive $100. Tax return filers will also receive $100 per dependent they claimed on their 2021 taxes, for up to three dependents.
Illinois is also providing property tax rebates for eligible homeowners. Those rebates will be equal to the property tax credit they qualified for on their 2021 returns, up to a maximum of $300, with restrictions."This $1.8 billion in tax relief is possible because Democrats balanced the budget, eliminated the bill backlog, funded schools, fixed roads - and through responsible financial decision-making - still found ourselves with a one-time surplus," Pritzker said.
