State and local sales tax
The Illinois state sales tax rate is 6.25%, and cities, counties and transit districts add local taxes, so combined rates differ by location. Businesses register with the Illinois Department of Revenue and file through its MyTax Illinois portal.
Quarterly withholding and unemployment returns
Employers file Form IL-941 for Illinois income tax withholding each quarter and report unemployment insurance wages to the Illinois Department of Employment Security.
LLC annual report
Illinois LLCs file an annual report with the Secretary of State to stay in good standing, and the date depends on the month of formation.
Chicago is its own set of rules
Businesses inside Chicago face city taxes on top of the state’s, so the owner’s CPA confirms which local taxes apply before returns are prepared.
Rates, forms and deadlines change. Confirm the current figures on the state agency sites linked below before filing.
