Illinois Estate Tax Update - Changes Made to Estate Tax Payment Procedures

Illinois has revised the payment procedures with regard to Illinois estate taxes. Effective July 1, 2012, estates will no longer send their estate tax payment to the county treasurer's office. Instead, all payments must be submitted to one of the Illinois State Treasurer's offices. Estate representatives are being encouraged to mail returns and payments to the Treasurer's Springfield office, but payments may be paid in person at either office:

By mail or in person:

Illinois State Treasurer
Estate Tax Division
400 W. Monroe, Suite 401
Springfield, IL 62704

In person:

Illinois State Treasurer
100 West Randolph Street
Suite 15-600
Chicago, IL 60601
