Question

My mom did not need to file a tax return but I did anyway since I was already filing for Federal. Illinois has since rejected it twice. Can I just not file instead?

If she did not meet Illinois filing requirements, you would not need to file a return for Illinois.

 

Here are the filing requirements for Illinois:  Illinois Filing Requirement

 

The other option would be to print and mail the Illinois Return.

 

Here is how to get back into the return to choose the Print option:

 

  1. Select Tax Home on the left menu.
  2. Scroll down to Your tax returns & documents.
  3. Select 2019, and then select Add a State (you're not actually adding a state, this just gets you into the right area).
  4. Select File in the left menu (expand your browser window if you don't see this, or select the menu icon in the top left corner).
  5. Follow the on-screen instructions to choose to mail your Illinois Return.
