I know this was from a few years ago, but what was the message for? My son just got this on his for Illinois We have received your return, but we cannot process it completely without additional review”. Any info would be appreciated or ideas. He has not got any letters yet. Thank you

This is my first time filing taxes in IL. I still have an out of state license, so I wasn’t able to eFile, but I did elect for direct deposit. I mailed in my tax forms.
I finally received my letter in the mail asking to verify identity. I was able to do that online today (3/7/24).
My question – how long does ID verify usually take (I know it says up to 120 days), and will I receive a paper check instead because I had to verify?

Anyone know when Illinois does their updates?

You sign up for a MyTax amount. It doesn’t use authenticating apps or anything
-

What authentication app do u use for mytax I can’t get into mine?
-
Ruben
@sarah once it zeros out they sent the money to the state comptrollers office where they are dd to you usually takes about 3 days after it zeros out. You’ll have your money by Friday I believe.
-
Mine just turned to zeros this morning. I wonder what the turn around to getting the refund is? Anyone know?
-

I filed 1/17 and was accepted 1/30. Haven’t recieved it yet. I’m hoping it comes before friday.

You have to sign into my tax website to see the dollar amount.

I think people are mixing up federal and state tax. The federal will show you an 846 code but there’s no transcript for Illinois.
-

The only thing on my tax Illinois site is either a message saying they received your tax return, and they are processing or that they have not received it. It never shows an amount owed to you or anything like that. I think people are mixing up federal and state tax. The federal will show you an 846 code but there’s no transcript for Illinois.
-
Mmeans
People keep saying they see a refund amount for Illinois and then it turns green and turns to 0 meaning the refund is issued. Where are you seeing this? Federal yes , but I’ve never see ln a site that shows this for state.
-
MaMaBeArOF3
Zeroed out means on your my tax account where it says balance, it’ll be zeros instead of the amount owed to you. Mine still says my amount in green, which means mine hasn’t been processed yet. Once it’s done, it’ll be zeros instead of your return amount.
-
What do you mean zero out I see everybody saying but I don’t understand?
-
Funk
My tax Illinois zeroed out today so i’m betting we see deposits within the next few days to week.

Hey y’all! I hope everybody is doing well and staying safe while waiting for they mon-nay! But in all for realness, Illinois need to come on they play too much ! I am just waiting for them to send me a letter saying I owe something, they always do. smh any new updates for this state?
-

Checked the state comptroller and got this message,
Congratulations, we have received your income tax return information for tax year 2022! It was processed in our office on 2/22/2023.
If you signed up for direct deposit, you should expect your payment within the next business day. If you asked for a paper check, you should expect your payment in your mailbox approximately five business days after the processed date. -

My refund was processed on Jan 30, funds were sitting green in parentheses until Feb 5. Now its 0.00 and says processed but no DDD, just the still processing message.
-
Funk
Got mine on 2-14 last year so i’m betting we see some movement next week.
-
Sarah
Accepted on opening day, sitting with refund in parentheses.. in for a long wait..
-
Hey, people. Wanted to see if anyone got accepted opening day in IL (1/29)? I did yesterday. It takes them forever to process (there’s that security thing that was passed a while back), so it’ll take at least three/four weeks before we start seeing any movement…
-
Any updates
-
Deposit posted with chime! Until next year guys..
-
Congrats on your deposits, for those that have received their money, was it in a traditional bank? I have chime so I am wondering if I will get it soon.
-

Deposit received today 3 days short of 4 weeks. Pretty good for Illinois. Guessing since Monday is a bank holiday they sent them today.

I just received my state deposit. I also got the email saying my return was processed yesterday. This was alot faster than last year.

Just got this email, but the comptroller website still says they don’t have it when I check there.
We have great news for you! The Illinois Office of Comptroller received your tax return information and has processed your payment. If you signed up for direct deposit, you should expect your payment within the next few business days. If you asked for a paper check, you should expect your payment in your mailbox in approximately five business days. -

I received that email just now but comptroller website has not updated yet.

Make sure you check IL comptroller to see if they released it sometimes it will show up in your account before comptrollers website.
-
We have completed processing your return and have released your refund to the Illinois Comptroller. Typically refunds are issued within 10 business days after we release them to the Comptroller’s office.

These are my dates for the last 4 years. Will give everyone an idea on about when to expect. I always file before IRS opening day and accepted by Illinois opening day.

On 2/21/2020 for year 2019.
On 2/22/2019 for year 2018.

Don’t forget Illinois hold your refund for 4 weeks before they release it. They claim it is for security purposes against scams. Don’t expect any refunds before the week of February 24th. If lucky they may take only 3 weeks instead of four..

Hi everyone! I am located in Chicago (if that matters)
Filed: 01/23/2023

As Of 01/31/2023: Balance still showing on mytaxillinois. When checking WMR status it says it hasn’t been received from Illinois Department of Revenue (hasn’t been processed yet for release).Hopefully balance will change to 0 soon and this refund will be released prior to PATH being lifted (fingers crossed!)

I’m also at 0 on mytax today. Looks like Illinois is starting to move now!
-
Jcable2
Mine just went to 0 on mytax. Comptroller shows nothing. 29 days from acceptance. Will probably see Comptroller update tomorrow. Illinois holds for 4 weeks for “security and fraud prevention” before releasing.
-
Filed 1/24 accepted same day. Been checking everyday. Finally amount went to zero today.

Ruben
Still sitting at green no movement .

In 2020, I got Illinois on 2/21 and federal on 2/26.
Last year I got my federal refund on 2/22 and Illinois on 3/16.

Ruben
Yup I’m still sitting at green. Looking back i received it last year on March 9. I’m not expecting anything back until the end of this month or first week of March.
-

Illinois always takes forever to actually send out the refunds. Would shocked if it goes out before March.

I’m still sitting at green on mytaxillinois website. Checking daily will update if I see movement.

I’m on business day 4 since received the text from comptroller and still nothing.
Illinois WMR says its processing and Comptroller site says it hasn’t been received.

Still no deposit. Illinois WMR still says it’s processing. Comptroller says it hasn’t received my return. Yet I got a text & email from them Thursday says it’s finished processing..
Got to love the slow state of Illinois.

@Sarah yes, once it turns to zero that means they sent it over to comptroller to cut the check/send funds

Yes once it turns to zero that means they sent it to comptroller to cut the check/send funds

So if you can see your balance in green, it means still processing? We have to wait till it turns to zero?

-
Annoyed
No update for me. Still green in MyTax
-
Ruben
Looks like nobody really updates their status on here . Well for those who do come around and read my tax Illinois is still showing my credits at zero . Looking at my past Illinois deposit dates on the states comptroller website last 4 years deposits have been on either a Tuesday or a Thursday for me . All of those deposits happened a week after mytaxillinois showed my refund in green then dropping to zero. This years went to zero on the 5th bet I’ll get a deposit this week.
-
Ruben
Anybody else from here have any updates on mytaxillinois. This site is pretty much dead only a few left lol
-
Patiently waiting
Ruben when did you file & what’s your processing date also when did your balance go from green to zero?
-
Ruben
I filed 1/31 using turbo tax . TT states Illinois accepted it on the 14th of feb. My tax Illinois website has it processed on 2/13 on the period activity section. Not sure how that works since TT says they accepted it the 14th but I’ll take it. I’ve been able to see my balance in green for about a week and a half and yesterday morning around 6am my balance went to zero.
-
Ruben
As of today my refund balance on my tax Illinois is still at zero after it updated . Just waiting for the deposit now usually for me it’s deposited usually 3 days after the balance drops to zero. Illinois accepted return on 2/14 week after that my refund amount was processing on my tax Illinois it’s moving just a bit slower.
-
Patiently waiting
Filed 2/1 accepted 2/11 showed green amount on 3/1 & showed processed on 2/11 still sitting green with my amount

@annoyed I refiled with mytaxillinois and got confirmation right away like you said..something is definitely wrong with hr block, I left a message asking if they submitted my Illinois and of course they are no help!
-
Ruben
Filled the 11th of feb, accepted the 14h. My tax Illinois showed accepted on wmr a couple days after the 12. I’ve been able to seen my refund amount in green this whole time , they haven’t dropped to zero.I’m expecting it to drop to zero sometime this week with a ddd soon after that .
-
SBWrigleyville
I filed with HRBlock end of Jan and Illinois was accepted 2/14. Finally today (3/1) WMT showed they have my tax return. When I log into my Illinois account it shows the correct amount to be refunded. Unfortunately it gives no indication of when that cash will be deposited.
-
Mcoffey09
Just my timeline fyi- I filed 2/19, IL accepted it 2/20. On 2/26 I was finally able to check the status. “We have received your tax return. Please allow time for it to fully process.”
-

@Sarah obviously there is something going on I see a lot of people having issues. I had to do this last year also due to an h&r glitch. This year I don’t know what the deal is
-
Annoyed
@Sarah no just file and if h&r eventually transmits it will just be rejected. At least you will have it filed
-
Sarah
Annoyed do you think it would ruin anything if I did it? I filed with hr block and it’s still nothing

My State taxes says they accepted threw JH on the 15th but the state has nothing.

@Sarah- I originally filed with Turbotax and they claimed i state return was accepted on the 13th. After 6 days of no record found I called IDOR, still nothing. I re-filed on MyTax Illinois, got a confirmation number immediately, and literally the next day, which was a Saturday, I checked WMR and it said my return was received and processing. I already received my federal refund. I requested a refund of state e-file fee ($20) from TT.
-
Sarah
My federal has been accepted but when I put in my info for Illinois it’s saying there is no match in their system!!! Wth?

Update after being accepted on the feb 13th via TurboTax WMR updated this morning 2/24

How long does it take to receive your refund after updating to processed?
-
Kimmie Ann
I still have not received my refund. It updated last week now it says allow it time to fully process. I thought the same thing like they don’t have the money. I know people who received their fed and state at the same time this year.
-
Keyla
The state asked for my AGI before sending my refund… I got a letter back, that I think said they owed me my refund. I am still waiting. I have already got my Indiana and Federal back…. no issues. This must be their “extra security measures” . Where’s my refund obviously doesn’t get updated.
-
Alana
Filed on Feb 3rd. Received Federal refund 3 weeks ago. Illinois wheres my refund says still processing. Who knows? State of Illinois is broke probably checking change in couch cushions to send out tax refunds. Website says they are taking extra antifraud precautions. I say they are trying to find reasons to lessen the refunds! State of Illinois government stinks.
-

If anybody has gotten the message that their federal tax is under review and claimed the earned income tax credit then they are gonna want you to send them something to prove that you can claim this going thru it right now
-
Tiara
How many days after your refund said processed did u receive it in your account
-
Kimmie Ann
I filed Feb 3rd and it has been saying they can not process it without a further review! I have no received a letter anyone knows what this means?
-
Tiara
It says my refund was sent to the comptroller so hopefully I receive it monday
-
Vox
My return was also accepted on the 3rd though. I don’t know if that has something to do with my I got my deposit today.
-
My tax shows a slight deduction in my refund balance this morning, but the majority is still showing in green parenthesis. Anyone know why this would happen? Thanks!

Really i filed the 3rd ain’t get mines yet

Bobbie Digital
I filed my Illinois taxes on Feb. 4th, my tax online service said it was accepted by illinois. Everytime i go to check, it says, we have not processed your refund yet. Funny, whenever I owe them, they will take out the money from my account within the same day of filing but when they owe us, we have to wait. I can’t wait til the day comes that i leave illinois and take my retirement i earned here and spend it in another state.
-

I filed February 3rd and it’s still processing.

After i verified information they requested through mytaxillinois a week ago(they needed to verify my adjusted gross income ) im still waiting.sent copy of ,my fed return and my w2s.First time having to do this.mytaxillinois still says we are still fully processing your return…. Illinois sucks they failed this year.always get it before fed im my case.All well my fed is 2/26 ddd.

Katie G
Mine hit this morning with both websites saying that it’s being processed. Happy day!!
-
Amy
Update – It was in my account today!
-
Amy
I just checked both sites for Illinois, and they say my return has been processed. The Comptroller site said they received it on 2/25, and I should receive the funds in my account within a day. My Credit Union takes their sweet time updating info in the mornings, so I don’t know if it actually hit today or not.
(I filed on 1/31, and have both EIC and child tax credits.)
-
Received last night @ 3am ! No update on the IL WMR
-
Sarah
My state just hit on my chime card about 10 minutes ago, my tax and comptroller website has not been updated..
-
State refund is pending in bank account. For tomorrow.
Illinois WMR still says processing.
-
I received the same thing as you Joe M.sent my info through mytaxillinois cooy of fed return and my two check stubs so they can verify my adjusted gross income.still waiting to here anything back
-
I filled my taxes Jan 21st and accepted. I got a notice regarding my withholdings that they couldn’t verify so I had to send in on mytax Illinois website the proof of my w-2 and letter from my employer to show my withholdings and its been 2 weeks already. It was over $3,000 withholdings but they changed it to 0.00 cause they couldn’t verify supposedly. Any idea how long does this process take to get my refund?
-
Still nothing…my balance is zero on My Tax Illinois…how long will this take? Both tools say refund not processed yet.
-
Still no change as of 725am (CST) on Monday, February 24th….
-
When green goes to zero..usually at midnight that night or day after comptroller site updates ( 0 means that’s when Illinois sends it to them) and after that it gets sent to your bank
-
Katie G
Anyone accepted on 1/31 get theirs yet? The wait is driving me batty!!

@Gal726
Looking at about 6 weeks with a paper return.
-
Gal726
First time Illinois state filer since moving last year. Therefore I had to do a paper return. I mailed it out around 1/31. I’m sure I’ll be waiting a LONG time.
Anyone have experience with paper filing? I can’t check My Tax Illinois obviously. Not this round anyway.
-
Fencer
When did you get accepted by the state
-
I went on MyTax and my balance went from green to zero. That is a good thing right? Because the where’s my refund tool says it is still processing and the comptroller’s site says the same thing too?
-
Kingtee
Anyone banking with NetSpend ? Comptroller says it’s been processed 1/21 and shiuld be deposited next business day..how soon has someone gotten theirs with metabank NetSpend ?
-
Has everyone updated ?

Got my measly little amount earlier after they took their offset..then Jackson Hewitt took their rip off service money lol
-
Vox
I filed the 24th and it was rejected. Refiled and accepted February 3rd and it’s still processing.
-
Nada here. The balance hit 0 so it should have fully processed but nothing changed on Where’s My Refund and I can’t get into the comptroller website either.
-
Cari
Got mine today…$800 less than expected. Waiting for the letter to tell me why.

And still nothing… Filed 1/31

What does the message on the bottom say for everyone else after recieved. Does it say it cannot be completely processed without additional review. But not to send anything they will let you know if they need anything
-
Got a letter for income verification :( how long will this delay my state refund? Will it affect my federal refund? I assume it doesn’t but wasnt 100%. Thanks guys
-
As I said yesterday I expected mine to be here today. It just hit my Chime at 3:50 pm.
That was one day after going from Green to 0.
It all depends on what bank you use.
Wmr and comp still says processing.
-
Mine says we have not processed your return yet 🙄🙄😒😒
-
Mm
Mine says the same. Driving me nuts. You think it might deposit over night before weekend? I’m hoping so. Just wish the Illinois websites would update the status.
-
Goldie
Last year I got mines on the 20th I don’t know what is going on this year
-
As of 1230pm on 2/20/20 mine still says being processed.
-
Andrea
@Mm mine still says it is being processed as of 12:20pm on 02/20
-
Mm
Yeah mines been excepted for about 20 days now. I would assume it would hit anytime soon. I wish the WMR and comptroller sites were a little more detailed. Instead of just saying not yet processed it should have a estimated date so that people aren’t as anxious. Last year I got my February 22.
-
Jaymay
I still haven’t received my state refund and it was accepted on the 28th of January
-
Goldie
@76job that might mean that they will be mailing you some paperwork to let you know what you need to send them
-
Goldie
Did anyone get their refund today
-
76job
Is it normal to have a message that says your return is recieved but cannot complete processing without additional review
-
Yes Mm. I did last year and probably will this year as well
-
Mm
I was excepted on January 30. My WMR and Illinois comptroller website both say processing. Has anyone ever received the funds when both of these sites were still processing? I’m hoping I wake up to the money soon.

The lady said earlier when i called that when it goes to 0 that means it was processed and sent to the comptroller. It takes a day or so for them to receive then a day or so for them to send to you then after that depends on your financial institution for deposit.
-
Mm
I was excepted on 1/30. My WMR and Illinois comptroller site both still see that my return is still processing. I am hoping I will wake up to a deposit in the next day or two. Some people say that they get a deposit without any movement on the WMR site. I am hoping this is the case. Anyone else have that happen ever?

Fencer
When did you guys get accepted. I was accepted Feb 5th.
-
BG
My $ amount on my tax went to $0 today.
-
ugh, still no change on mine.. green numbers and all :(
on top of that my school said my financial aid refund was sent to my account monday but none of the students have received it yet!! I need my $$$ from someone soon.
-
How much longer after your green numbers drop to 0.00 do you have till you get your refund
-
Ruben
@georgiaLiving. They are referring to mytaxillinois website.If you have a account with mytaxillinois you can see youre refund amount information.
-
GeorgiaLiving
when everyone is saying there’s went to 0 so their money should be coming what are you all referring to?
-
It depends on your bank. I use Chime so mine is fast and will be there by tomorrow.
-
So when it goes to zero..itll deposit tomorrow?
-
Cari
Mine finally updated on the My IL site that they finished processing my return, made a change to it and that I’ll be notified via mail of the change. I’ve never seen this message before 🤷♀️

Jmbaby11
I checked this morning and my green $xxxx has gone to $0….yay! But wmr says still processing and so does the comptroller. An guess as to when a ddd is coming? I just got my federal transcripts updated today as well…846 with 2/26. Any idea on how long please? Ty
-
Mike
My money hit before it updated on comptroller and regular Illinois website. I just looked now at 5:54 and it showed they processed it today. So yes you can have your money before it updated on either website.
-
I went to 0 this morning. I should have my deposit by tomorrow.
-
Question, my numbers on my tax are 0 and not green anymore. So when should i expect something? Any help y’all?
-
Mm
Hey thenewguy when did you get accepted? I got accepted 1/30 and mine still says not yet processed.
Andrea, does yours say the same?
-
Andrea
@Thenewguy when did you file your state return and when was it accepted? I’m really hoping to see mine soon. I filed and was accepted on 01/28.
-
Thenewguy
Yes!! I just got my state refund =) also from what I remember and looking at my past deposits from my past refunds I got my tax refund always 2 days after my state refund.. so it looks like a deposit for Friday the 21st this year from the IRS =) (I’m also a pather)
-
Mm
Hi Mike. Did you have an update on WMR before your money hit? Or did it still say not yet processed?
-
Oliver

-
Mike
Money is in my bank YAY So glad now

-
Katie G
@Jada I did once but it was from an offset, they took the money from my tax return. Do you have anything like student loans?
-
Mm
What do you mean you have a pending deposit? You actually have a date in the WMR site?
-
Jada
So I have a pending deposit but it’s not even the full amount I was expecting. I called my bank and they told me I’m basically getting half of the amount I was expecting from illinois. I got my full state return from Missouri so I don’t understand smh. Anyone ever had this issue?
-
Mike
Mine still says being processed fyi on comptroller and Illinois wmr

Oliver
Nope.

Any one had any updates
-
Wow Ruben, you’re lucky! I have never had my state before my fed since Path went into effect. Illinois sucks :(
-
Ruben
Melissa i usually have my Illinois state return before I get my fed.Every year.This year looks like it might be different though, Illinois is taking their time…Im also still waiting for my fed ddd after the path lifting today.Last year i got my fed on the 22nd had my state a week before that . Things are running slower for me this year
-
Has anyone seen this?
We have received your return, but we cannot process it completely without additional review. If we need additional information to complete our review, you will receive a letter instructing you how to respond with this information. Please do not send us any additional information unless you receive a letter from the Department with further instructions. Sending us information without us requesting it may unnecessarily delay the processing of your return. -
Melissa
My state never updates until after path goes through no matter how early I submit mine. we had quite a few update last year before those of us stuck on path so I assume Illinois does not process until after federal.
-
As posted below to see the green numbers you have to look to my tax Illinois.
If you can’t login then yes you’ll need to have a letter mailed to you with your login code..
-
MM
Don’t you have to have a special letter or code to login into MyTax? I tried today and it said I need to request some letter that takes 8 days.
-
shenna
How do you see the green numbers? I keep seeing everyone ask that question
-
After processing. The green numbers are at the Login to MyTax Illinois. Once the green goes away to 0 then you can go to the individual tab and check where’s my refund. Then lastly the Susana Mendoza comp site.

MM
Mine typically comes around Feb 20-27. I would assume if you filed and accepted by January 30th it should arrive sometime next week maybe Wednesday-Friday. I check WMR and Comptroller site and both say processing. I am lost when people say that they are in a website that shows the money or it’s green or red. That is confusing to me. Is that a special website or something?
-
I have credits and haven’t updated either. Just gotta be patient.

I filed early Jan 3, my federal was accepted Jan 13 and I got it Jan 29, no credits. My state was accepted on Jan 22 and it didn’t show received on wmr until the end of January. Now wmr says my refund has been processed and released to state comptroller, refund are typically deposited by 10 days. Last year it took 5 days after this message to receive my state. -

I filed super early. Jan 3rd. Federal was accepted Jan 13 in a test batch. State was accepted Jan 22. I got my federal Jan 29th no credits. Mine was like that for two weeks at least. I can’t check my tax il but on the wmr page it said wait for it to fully process for atleast 2 weeks. Not it says they have released it to the comptroller and up to 10 days to release it.
-
Oliver
File Jan 3. State was accepted Jan 22. Didn’t show up received until Jan 31. Took 2 weeks to fully process

We have received your tax return. Please allow time for it to fully process. This message will be updated once your return has been processed.
That’s what mine says when I check it…

I just want my money.
I just wanna see movement in mine -
Oliver
@sobroke
Thanks. The state comptroller website still say they have not processed my refund. Hopefully I get it this coming week, I will update as I see changes. Good luck to everyone. As you say at least now there is movement.
@ Jazmin
Last year me and a lot of other posters on here updateD to done processing on feb 15 and had a deposit on feb 20. I updated to done processing on the wmr site today. -
@oliver congratulations! At least someone in IL has had progress! Still stuck at the received message here. At least there’s hope!
-
Hey are things moving the same as last year or different.
My money is in green hasn’t dropped to zero yet.
How long does it take filed the 28th accepted the 28th.
I got it back on the 20th of last year just wondering if it will be the same. -
Oliver
Just checked WMR and it says my refund has been processed and released to the comptroller. Also says refunds takes up to ten business days to be released.

Mike oh ok. What does it say when you check the state comptroller? Mine changed from yesterday it is not showing me the prior years refund dates. Now it just says we have not yet processed your refund. Not sure if it’s a good thing that it changed or what lol. I’m thinking we’ll get it around the 20th like last year.
-
Mike
@Oliver I filed on the 20th was accepted on the 27th when they opened one week later went to green money. Today at the time I posted I think it was around 3 am CST and green was gone. This happened last year and I had my cash on that Friday I believe. Still on WMR showing still processing but I go on what my tax says and it’s gone so I’m done processing like last year I’m assuming.
-
Ruben
I haven’t been able to make a account on mytaxillinois but when i check wheres my refund it still says We have received your tax return. Please allow time for it to fully process. This message will be updated once your return has been processed.Hope we get it next week i also worked in Missouri and i received that one last week.Didnt even check on that status because it was only for 87bucks woke up to a text from bank stating Missouri had deposited.Illinois refund is alot bigger so im hoping i get it soon as I wait for path to lift on federal return.
-
Oliver
Mike when did you file this year and when were you accepted? I don’t have an account on my tax because I don’t have the account number or whatever it is they need to make an account.
-
Jennifer
Lucky you @mike lol mine shows green still.
-
Mike
Just check my tax Illinois and my money is gone shows 0.00 so like last year it’s fully processed as like last year but not showing up on WMR for Illinois like last year probably get it this coming wed or Friday
-
Oliver
Actually I checked again and last years state refund was deposited on feb 20 for me. Looking back a handful of people posted they got theirs in the 20th last year as well. Hopefully we get it around the same day.
-
Mike
Just got off the Phone with IL IRS or IDOR what ever they want to call them. Nice lady stated that its taking them 4-6 weeks to process them. Bunch of horse poo again.
-
Mike
Kel was it a certified letter?
-
Kel
Received a letter today that said we must verify our identity. I had to go online and take a quiz. Says it’s to ensure they issue the refund to the correct Person. And that once it’s passed they will continue with normal processing. I filed on 2/1. Accepted the same day. Passed the quiz. So now we wait again. 🙄
-
Oliver
Made a post don’t know what happened. Last year my state return was accepted Jan 28 and I had it deposited on feb 19. This year it was accepted Jan 22 but have not received a ddd yet it says it had been received and to allow time for it to process. Hopefully it is the same as last year and I get it between now and the 19th.

All state government jobs are closed today due to Lincoln birthday. Typical Illinois horse poo they get today off and Monday off. While us regular people work.

I had to ID verify as well this year. I verified online Monday evening and they was able to see my documents on Wednesday. Does anyone know how long that process takes before I see a refund?
-
Jennifer
Any word?

Mine was the same Cari. They were just slow at updating the system this year, like always. I didn’t need to id verify, how did you find out you did?
-
Cari, how much longer do you think after you verify that you will be approved?
-
Cari
I had to ID verify this year 🙄🙄 comptroller updated on Thursday to allow me to enter my phone number for updates, before that it was only showing the previous years return.

Filed the 21 of January accepted the 27 Amount was green on the 27 processed date says the 27 Amount went to 0 on the 28. From that date the only message I get is We have received your tax return.

Hopefully that is a good sign.

Illinois just accepted my return today

My tax refund says processed what does that mean and long does it usually take to get refund once it says processed

Mytax Illinois is showing my refund amount currently if you have a account you actually log in. Last year it was really slow this year it’s actually showing up fast. I am betting it will be 2 weeks before I see the refund but just figured I would post this
-
Jennifer
So, if Jackson Hewitt says Illinois accepted it.. And it was received..why does the Illinois site say it has no record? Or is that normal and i won’t know anything until all of a sudden i either have my refund or its all a sudden processed? That’s what it did last year

We recieved a return correction notice in March and I sent this back with the necessary documents needed via fax. I called a several weeks later and the lady at the comptroller office said that they were currently working on correction notices from February. So this was in April and now we are going into August and I am still getting the notice saying that our return has not been processed yet. I can’t believe how long it is taking. Is anyone else still waiting on theirs?
-
Violet
i keep receiving message we have not yet proccesed my return, i have been waiting a very long time what is the possible reasons my refund is delayed for so long and i really need money so when can i expect it???

Waiting too
Amen. Took 2 months but Illinois finally responded to return correction notice, refund on the way. Good luck to anyone else still waiting

The IL where’s my refund is showing my refund should be mailed within 10 business days. Comptroller site says it will be DD within a couple business days. I did set up for DD. Which site is right?
-
Sara
This group provided me with some helpful information, so I wanted to contribute our own info in case it helps anyone.
We filed and were accepted 2/18/19 via the Illinois revenue website. The where my refund page said that our refund was being processed for the last 6+ weeks. Finally, yesterday (Weds) the message changed to “your refund has berm processed but no date has been given for your refund.” It also said that a chance had been made and that we were sent a letter. I was worried that the letter meant we’d have to provide additional information. We don’t have a my tax Illinois account so we couldn’t see the letter. The comptroller page said that the refund had not been processed.
Our refund was deposited on our bluebird card at 4:21 CST this afternoon, Thursday. Both the where’s my refund page and the comptroller page still aren’t updated. Also, we signed up for text and email notifications from the comptroller but received neither. So it was kind of a happy surprise after waiting all this time. Also our refund was about $100 more than we expected so I’m guessing that is what the letter was about.
I hope this makes someone feel more informed. Thank you to everyone for posting here, as your information made me feel as if I could be somewhat confident that our refund was finally arriving, and I’m glad I was right.

Hey,
You can pull up the letter if you have an mytax illinois account, and read it. -
Waiting too
Sam–yes I got a notice too. For me, they couldn’t verify my property tax credit even though I’ve been claiming it for seven years now. Figure about a week from when the letter is dated, you will get it. Make sure you make copy of letter and send back any information they are asking for. I sent information certified mail return receipt the day I got it. No response yet

Just as I suspected (and hoped) State is pending in account for deposit tomorrow.

Your return has been processed; however a date for your refund has not been determined. Please continue to check the refund inquiry for an updated status on your refund.
Just checked the comptroller website and it says it’s not been processed.

Hi everyone,
Just so I am clear ..when you have a amount on mytax in green font and it states processed, does that mean they are done reviewing?

Your return has been processed; however a date for your refund has not been determined. Please continue to check the refund inquiry for an updated status on your refund.

Still no movement here on the comptroller.

Federal was accepted on 2/3 (have credits), H&R Block sends an email saying they’ve received my refund…they take their payment but it will take 3-5 days for me to get mine…seriously? And state still says processing (accepted on 2/5).

Any Time now!

My taxes are finished processing but says a direct deposit date hasn’t been determined.. how long does it usually take from that point?
-
FYI – I was accepted 1/28, processing 2/5, finished processing 2/20…
-
@imbackagainandpreggo
Thank you. That means there is hope for me then haha. FED is messed up this year with their updates. Hopefully I’ll get state this week. Was the where’s my refund for Illinois or state comptroller ever updated for you? -
It just updated this morning for me. But I noticed the other day it was processed on the Illinois tax website but not on comptroller site. I’ve been checking the comptroller site and that hasn’t been very accurate up until this morning when it updated but now Illinois tax website isn’t updated lol. Gotta love confusion. My federal got resequenced.. I was a 1/14 filer and had 9001 code for weeks.. Then updated to path for a week.. Path fell off now I’m stuck with being processed lol. I’m looking for my update Friday into Saturday. Just happy I finally got state! Taking family out to dinner and smoothies tonight 😊
-
I’m pretty sure I was accepted January 14th. As soon as my federal accepted I was able to file state but not until the 28th did I get the email from TT saying they accepted it.
-
@imbackagainandpreggo
When did you file? -
Illinois posted to my account.. Minus my state offset. Happy momma!
-
Mibratt
Filed on 1-20…ofcourse I’m still processing Idk who is slower…fed or state!!! Everything is processing with no dam end in sight😵😵😵

My ILLINOIS refund just deposited.. still waiting on federal.. this is a first !!
-
tered
My refund hit the bank today , no federal yet this is weird
-
Coiled
My Illinois refund just posted to my account even though says pending on their website. it’s in my bank account now hmm got it before my federal first for Illinois.
-
Why does the comptroller site tell me it’s not done processing yet.. And the Illinois tax site telling me it’s processed and a date can’t be given yet. Is it done processing yet or not lol
-
tered
Nothing still says a date has not been determined ugg
-
unpatiently waiting
The website tells you it won’t be updated until the 20th.
-
Denae
Doubt anything will update till Tuesday, as Monday is a state holiday.
-
Sarah
Still at being processed for like 3 wks still
-
Mine still says processed .. waiting on Comptroller to release funds
-
Ruben
Nope…still says we are currently processing your return
-
Any luck ?

I know others have received the letter from IL that says “When processing your return, we made a change and have sent you a letter dated…” I have two questions, what did it say for you (if you are willing to share) and how long did it take to get it? My letter is dated 3/4 (according to wheres my refund IL) so I am curious when it will actually get to me and what to expect.
-
-
When do we expect DDD from the Comptroller??
-
unpatiently waiting
I’m tired of seeing this lol
“Requests submitted through MyTax Illinois after the close of business 2/15/19 may not be processed and updated in the system until 2/20/19.”
-
Hey yall. So I just went to the IL comptroller website. You can search to see if your refund has been processed, & have the option to leave your phone number & email address for them to contact you once it’s been processed. Mine hasn’t been processed yet.
-
Congrats to the folks that are done processing! The comptroller cuts the check within a few days. (That’s the fastest step along the way the last 5 years.)
https://myrefund.illinoiscomptroller.com/
Enter your ssn and name and it will give you the most updated info. (It also gives you your prior payment dates through 2014 for reference.)
-
Well … my return is showing processed!!! .. now I wait for the Comptroller to decide on a DDD … what the hell ??
-
Okay the website said “What does it mean when “Where’s My Refund?” says that a date for my refund has not been determined?
Once your refund is approved, we release the information to the Comptroller to issue your refund. The Comptroller then releases detailed information back to us about your refund. Until we receive information back from the Comptroller, we are unable to provide you a date for your refund. Once we receive the information, Where’s My Refund? will update with more details. This process usually takes between 24 and 48 hours.
-
Same thing yall. IL need to stop playing with these coins!
-
@tered mine says that too
-
Tered
My state updated to done prosing but a refund date has not been determined anyone know how long now
-
Marem
Your current year’s return is not showing on our computer files. If you filed electronically, please allow up to 7 days from the date you transmitted your return for it to appear on our computer files. If you mailed your return, please allow up to ten weeks from the date you mailed your return for it to appear on our computer files.
-
Team,
No update here either. Pretty sure the MyTaxIL site updates tues/wed by morning. On 2/5 is around when my balance went into the green. Been sitting there since… Everyone have a great weekend! Catch you next week for some Direct Deposits!!! :)
-
unpatiently waiting
What time do they update?
“Requests submitted through MyTax Illinois after the close of business 2/11/19 may not be processed and updated in the system until 2/14/19.”
-
Well gotta wait for a tax ID I’ll wait till next year I guess I hope we get our states soon guys hang in there
-
OhSoTired
Yes @jazminj
-
Do I have to make a mytax account to see the numbers in green letters
-
I read somewhere where they said it would take around 4 weeks for them to process the electronic returns. If that is accurate, I still have another week, give or take. They show that it was accepted on 1/22 but they didn’t actually start processing them until 1/28 I believe. So the end of this week will be the 3rd week for me. No movement yet. When I log in, my amount is there in green, so that’s probably good. Waiting for it to turn to a zero. *drumming fingernails on the table.
Come on Illinois, get with the program.
-
No movement at all .. just still processing
-
Anyone have any movement?
-
unpatiently waiting
Thanks Dave
@nonstopI had to request a Letter ID on 2/7. Received it today 2/11. Logged in and it’s green. SO that came some piece of mind. Just waiting now.
“Team,
This has been the trend the last few years in IL, hope it helps-
1.) Log In – MyTaxIllinois, if it shows a Balance ($555) in green font, it is processing.
2.) It will turn that Balance to ($0) zero dollars eventually. At that point it is done processing.
3.) That payment amount will be directly forwarded to the Comptroller for your payment. https://myrefund.illinoiscomptroller.com/
When they process, it’s a day or two until payment. (Comptroller is basically cutting the check, few holds ups from there.)As of this morning 2/5, I’m still processing with green font Balance ($$$ step 1)”
-
Ruben
Every other state getting theirs..mann.come on Illinois!
-
Had anyone heard of any confirmed movement on Illinois state taxes ?
-
Ruben
Oh man….someone on igmr Facebook page on the state return post just said they received their illinois refund and got a deposit today… hope its real and they arent making it up they said they had credits filed the 25 accepted the 29th and their deposit hit today..if true ,then were seeing some movement.
-
Michael
E-filed our taxes on 1-28 it was accepted on 1-29 received our refund in our bank yesterday, 1-8-19. We filed with credits and somehow our refund was dramatically smaller than turbo tax had concluded. We are supposed to be receiving something in the mail explaining this. I’m confused as we don’t owe money. It’s also weird we got it back this fast. I’m hoping this is just an error ( I wouldn’t be shocked, this is illinois) because we’ve never gotten back State before Federal.
-
Ruben
Someone on igmr page just said in the state refund post they just received their illinois return.she said she filed 1/25 accepted 1/29 with credits.and got a deposit today!.hope shes telling the truth .If she is, we’re seeing some movement.
-
Ruben
Still saying….We have received and are currently processing your return. Please continue to check the refund inquiry for an updated status on your refund

glad to hear @OhSoTired! I checked this morning and still in the green as well. hopefully we wake up to some movement on Monday, then BAM, comptroller for the win. :)

Thanks for the information @Dave. Very helpful. There was nothing showing up in mine last week at all, today the amount is there in green. Waiting for it to turn to “0” then we will we be moving along. :)

How long is it taking this year for Illinois tax refunds ???

I still can’t seem to file mine…grrrr

Brian Tomass
I completed my Federal taxes and already received my refund from them. I filed the Illinois taxes and received a letter titled ”Return” Correction Notice” and they are only looking for explanation on my Self Employment Calculations.
Brief note. I made money in Self Employment in 2017 and about 2/3 of that amount I either have 1099’s , track records or both. The other, was paid through various gift cards, which is paid through a 3rd party survey which is most of my income stems from. Multiple online survey companies. When I take a survey and it directs me to a third party for a at home use product, and many Focus Groups Studies. per say, and in return I fill out a survey and at the end a code pops up to claim a GC of choice usually around 10-25.00 each time, no emails, just a thank you and quick print. How do I put this other 1/3 down on the Notice to return other than explaining it to them as I am with you.?

Someone is big mad lmao….blessings everyone
-
CommonSense
Some of you people are really dumb… If your refund says it’s been processed then you know you’re getting your direct deposit soon. NOBODY knows when you’ll get your direct deposit. Be glad your refund got processed and stop asking dumb questions. For example, when my refund says processed, I then am NOT going to post a question asking how long after processed am I going to receive my direct deposit. It’s coming, you know it’s coming, it said processed.

Hi everyone. I filed /14 and accepted same day. Finally changed to has been processed. I also have NFCU @coiledvipers how long after from te processed msg to dep. did it take?

Why does comptroller say not processed when the other website said it was for almost 5 days, now it says no info is available.

I now have the “we can not proccess your request” message and comptroller says they have not processed my return! I was on processed for 4 days! What the heck?

Confused. Where’s my refund said we can not proceed with your request for refund status information. Yesterday it said it had been processed but a date for refund was not available. Now the find my refund website said it was processed yesterday. What the heck is going on?
-
Nothing is pending
-
Have you checked you bank to see if it’s pending?
-
I’ve been stuck on PROCESSED for 3 days now … with NO DDD .. when should I expect comptroller to release funds ??
-
Checked my bank account about 3, when my bank posts deposits for the next day, and my state refund is pending for deposit for tomorrow Friday March 2.
When I checked the Illinois Where’s My Refund I get the same message I have since yestersay:
“Your return has been processed; however a date for your refund has not been determined. Please continue to check the refund inquiry for an updated status on your refund.”
When I checked the Comptroller website it says:
“We haven’t processed your return” -
Coffy
I have had the same status about my return being processed with no deposit date. What does that mean? How long does it take to be approved?
-
Sarah
I wonder when the system updates, cuz mine still says it is being processed..
-
Once my return says the following how long does it take the COMPTROLLER to send out refund ???
Your return has been processed; however a date for your refund has not been determined. Please continue to check the refund inquiry for an updated status on your refund

Sometime between this morning when I checked and posted my update to know my status changed.

We have received and are currently processing your return. Please continue to check the refund inquiry for an updated status on your refund.

Any updates? I’m still at
We have received and are currently processing your return. Please continue to check the refund inquiry for an updated status on your refund. -
@lotsofluv Mine hasn’t budged as of yet I am guessing Friday you get money at the earliest or Monday at the latest. They need to hurry the heck up with everyones lol.
-
My refund is no longer showing on my mytax account and Illinois WMR now shows that my return has been processed and a date for my refund has not been provided yet. Normally just takes a few days for it to be disbursed from this point.
-
@coiledvipers: I’m guessing they don’t have the money to refund them so they are waiting for the other people to start paying taxes to give us our money… the feds can process millions in a few hours and check for fraud but the state takes a month :\ good luck
-
@lotsofluv Illinois probably trying to earn some intrest on our cash because they cannot afford what they took our of our paychecks.
-
Nothing here yet, accepted on the 30th. According to them I should expect 28 days for returns to be processed and refunds to be sent out. This is due to the lengthy processed of protecting me from fraud.
She didn’t seem very willing to help with much of anything
-
jcable2
Nothing yet, Wednesday will most likely be the first of same as last year if not next week if they stick to the 4 weeks this year.

IRSlimbo
On the refund tool for Illinois, it states that they made a change to my return and sent a letter, and that if I have any questions after reading the letter to call. Anyone else gotten a similar message? I still haven’t received the letter, though they claim it was sent early last week. It’s weird because my federal was approved and fine, and I’ve never been sent letters before. I’m wondering what this means, did they reduce my state refund? Need more info? It’s frustrating the not knowing.
-
Jessecka
I filed on the 25th of January.
Yes, I copied and pasted the message from my email directly, not sure why it says 2016? I never received a text either, which was what I originally signed up for. Is there any way that I can post a screen shot here to show you? Last year, I owed because my employer screwed up my state taxes, so I never needed to track it last year.
I received it, for sure. I paid my mortgage and took my family out to dinner last night.
Here is the email, highlighted the entire page:

Dear Taxpayer:
Thank you for signing up for the email notification through the Illinois Comptroller’s Office. We processed your tax return payment.
If you signed up for direct deposit, you should expect your payment within the next few business days. If you asked for a paper check, you should expect your payment in your mailbox in approximately five business days.
If you’re interested in how the state spends your hard earned tax dollars, click here to see how your money was spent in Fiscal Year 2016.

Received text stating ‘(IL Payment) The comptroller has processed your refund you should receive it within 5 business days.’
Filled with JH 1/29, accepted 2/1.
Still no update on IL WMR so maybe tomorrow??
Fingers crossed.
-
@jcable2 I do not but thank you for the info!
-
jcable2
Do you have an account at https://mytax.illinois.gov that is where you can login and see everything and download old returns. Once the balance on there goes to zero the deposit is on the way.
-
@jcable2 Where do you see your refund amount? All I get when I put in social is this:
We have received and are currently processing your return. Please continue to check the refund inquiry for an updated status on your refund.
-
jcable2
Nothing yet. My tax still shows my balance. If they do the same as last year I predict the first any gets money or hears anything is next Wednesday the 21st.
-
Has anyone had any luck with returns from Illinois yet?
-
Don’t forget you can check your Illinois State refund status through the comptroller website.
You can also sign up for text and email alerts! -
Thank you!
-
@MiMi I have seen them update once at noon on a Tuesday with Friday Deposit. I have also seen them update on Monday morning so its Illinois who knows with them they so broke anyways. They have to earn intrest on our cash.
-
Anyone know when Illinois Where’s My Refund updates?
-
@terre Negative all that’s changed since I filed was seeing the amount in mytax Illinois showing the amount I am owed.
-
terre
Has anyone had movement with Illinois ? mine is still saying processing ?
-
According to a post on the revenue.il.us site it says that refunds will be issued 4 weeks from the day the return was accepted. We still have a few weeks if that’s the case since they didn’t start accepting them until the 29th :(
-
Sarah
Sure hope something positive happens soon.
-
Tam
@Ebony Wilson you’re so right.
-
jcable2
Yes got mine on February 16th last year a day early because of my deposit method, but my official deposit date was February 17th. I will expect nothing before Feb 23rd since they started a week later this year, and that is if they do 3 weeks like last year instead of the whole 4 weeks they say it takes to do the fraud checks. I would almost bet that I get the state and federal on the same day this year. Got federal on the 23rd last year.
-
I also got my state refund a day or so sooner than the fed and this year is tricky becasuse who’s to say like the government they will have the money to pay us back considering how “broke” they are. I think thats a bunch of crap they took it with no problem but it sure seems like it is going to be a problem to pay back state and fed!
-
Tam
@Jcable2 last year I got mine right behind you so keep us posted.
-
Last year I got my State Refund before I got my Federal refund took under 2 weeks to get my money from Illinois. So heres to hoping.
-
Tam
Good to see some of you back. I was looking back at old comments. I’m in a state now that doesn’t take out state tax so that’ll be interesting next year.
-
jcable2
Don’t expect anything for 3 to 4 weeks from date accepted. Illinois already said they will hold for 4 weeks to prevent fraud. I was one of the first to get a refund last year. 3 weeks and 2 days exactly. Be sure to sign up with the Comptroller and they will text and email you when they get your refund.
-
I just checked My Tax Illinois My refund amount is showing on it. (whats owed) Last year it took like 2 weeks for it to show up this time it showed up quickly Filed 1/31 accepted 2/1. Maybe we will get lucky and get fast Illinois refund.

Last year it did take 3 weeks for the refunds to be issued but this year there is a budget so I am hoping we see it towards the end of next week. I have been checking my mytax account and I submitted the 30th, says processed the 31st and the credit is just sitting there. All depends on the comptroller now :\

@Denise I’m in the exact boat. I submitted and was accepted on 1/25/17 and was checking every week as it was still saying processing. I was told last week mine is being Manually reviewed and no time table for completion. I have looked every where for a answer on time frame and have come up empty. Still waiting. If you find out anything before me please let me know

I have an Illinois state tax question…filed 1/25, accepted 1/30. I’ve been calling every week since for the status and just been told “processing”. So yesterday 4/10 I was finally told I’m in review. Do you know how long that normally takes for Illinois?

I submitted my illinois taxes on 1/25. Today is 3/27 and it’s still saying processing when I check the Illinois where’s my refund website. Anyone have ideas? Or similar issue
-
I’m getting concerned. I was on PATH for federal and got my refund on the 22nd. Strangely a friend of mine filed almost 2 weeks after me (I filed on 2/3). His state of Illinois says done processing and mine is still processing? Anyone else have any ideas?

Just got a text from the comptroller. “Subject:IL Payment
The Comptroller has processed your refund. You should receive it within 5 business days.” Northern the comptroller or Illinois refund site changed but atleast I know it will be here anytime now. Checked my bank nothing yet. -
Dear Taxpayer:
Thank you for signing up for the email notification through the Illinois Comptroller’s Office. We processed your tax return payment.
If you signed up for direct deposit, you should expect your payment within the next few business days. If you asked for a paper check, you should expect your payment in your mailbox in approximately five business days.
If you’re interested in how the state spends your hard earned tax dollars, click here to see how your money was spent in Fiscal Year 2016.

My credit balance was gone by the afternoon yesterday so hopefully I should see in bank in a couple days. Still getting message that return has been processed but no date has been given.
-
Your return has been processed; however a date for your refund has not been determined. Please continue to check the refund inquiry for an updated status on your refund.
Bout Dang time Illinois.
-
Mine updated today also to say it has been processed and a future date will be given for the refund. My account on mytax shows that the refund has been taken off my account. I normally see the payments off there within 3 days.

Julie
Where’s my refund said processing for the last week but when I logged into my account it said processed and showed my credit balance. Today for the first time said processed but no date has been given. :(

Holy crap! Got my Illinois refund this morning, was not expecting it until March sometime, yay!
-

Mytax website is showing it is done being processed and my negative balance. The refund tracker shows still being processed. So basically just waiting on Illinois to decide to send out my money.

That’s amazing Tam, Illinois comptrollers office says no refunds have been issued yet and that some returns may finish processing this week but more than likely not until next week. We should check the website periodically to see if our returns have completed processing yet.

None EIC filers already received their refund. My husband filed the week of January 16 and got his back Saturday at midnight.
-
Anyone hearing anything yet, My mytaxillinois account says mine was processed the 23rd and shows my refund amount due on my account but doesn’t say anything about when it will be issued. Some stuff on the comptroller website has been updated while others haven’t been. The non updated stuff says March 1st for beginning of refunds while other stuff says beginning of February for refunds :D Illinois is such a joke sometimes!!

Am I the only person still waiting for my Illinois refund? I filed on 2/4/16. I filed my wife’s on 3/2/16. I know that they didn’t start releasing refunds until 3/1/16. When I log in through MyTax IL, I can see that my wife’s has already been processed. Mine has not. The refund status site and the comptroller’s site just show that they are being processed. I hate not knowing.

I know they are starting late, but on the site it says to please wait seven days for the return to show. It has been seven days and my return hasn’t even been acknowledged. Do I just sit and wait, or should I start inquiring?

Now my dad’s we did his on the 20th of January and his is still pending also. Should I go through it again and see if i did something wrong or what??
-
Annie Hew
UPDATE! They still haven’t received it, it is still showing as pending on Tax Act, and I can’t figure out where to go on the Tax Act site to complain. Maybe I just need more coffee.
Has anyone else been accepted yet?

Well looks like Illinois is starting to accept state returns. When I check my status now, it says “Your current year’s return is not showing on our computer files. If you filed electronically, please allow up to 7 days from the date you transmitted your return for it to appear on our computer files. If you mailed your return, please allow up to ten weeks from the date you mailed your return for it to appear on our computer files.” Should I wait and give it a few more days to update possible to re-submit?

@Annie. Exactly. Did the responsible thing and filed my state and federal on 1/25. Not early or on the first day of filing, and yet I and so many others are still getting screwed!
-
Annie Hew
But you know if we screwed around until the last minute and didn’t pay them, they would be threatening us!

I submitted mine on the 20th with my Federal. Guess its a waiting game, hopefully it changes soon.

*correction: not accepting e-filed tax returns yet. Sorry.
-
irs_limbo
On the site’s main page there’s a disclaimer that states they’re accepting e-filed tax returns yet. *sighs*
