Pinterest If you get money from a retirement plan, such as a pension, this program helps you get a state income tax exemption. This exemption will help lower the amount of state income tax you pay or increase the amount of your refund.
The exemption applies to several forms of retirement income, including Social Security benefits, certain employee retirement plans, certain self-employed retirement plans, and government deferred compensation plans.
How do I apply?
To find out how to apply, please contact the Illinois Department of Revenue.
