CHICAGO, Ill. (WCIA) -- The Illinois Department of Revenue is urging people and businesses to take advantage of this year's tax amnesty program across the state.

The IDOR said the 2025 Illinois Tax Amnesty Program is a unique opportunity for residents and businesses to settle any outstanding state tax liabilities without having to pay penalties or interest. This program, authorized by the Illinois Tax Delinquency Amnesty Act, allows taxpayers to pay eligible past-due tax liabilities and have penalties and interest forgiven on taxes paid in full during this amnesty period.

In this program, eligible liabilities are taxes due from periods ending after June 30, 2018, and before July 1, 2024. Taxpayers are required to make their full payments between Oct. 1-Nov. 17, 2025.
