Illinois expanded tax credits for some workers and families but the money isn’t being claimed, experts say – Chicago Sun-Times

About 8,274 Illinois taxpayers claimed the earned income tax credit on their 2022 federal tax returns but didn’t take advantage of the state EITC, according to the latest figure from the Illinois Department of Revenue. That meant an estimated $4.15 million went unclaimed by Illinois taxpayers who would have qualified.
