From October 1, 2025 to November 15, 2025, Illinois will be expanding their new amnesty period. During this amnesty program, taxpayers will be able to report and remit their taxes from June 30, 2018 to July 1, 2024. Additionally, the Department of Revenue will waive penalties and interest and not seek civil or criminal charges for time covered by the program contingent that the taxpayers pay the taxes due during the amnesty period. Most taxpayers are eligible unless they are involved in an ongoing criminal investigation, civil or criminal litigation specifically pertaining to nonpayment, delinquency, or fraud that’s related to Illinois state taxes.
