What changes have been made to the 2010 Illinois Individual Income Tax schedules? Per Illinois Department of Revenue, the following represent some of the important changes made to the 2010 individual income returns as follows;
1. Form IL-1040 now includes a new line for reporting Illinois Use Tax. If a taxpayer owes $600 or less in use tax for 2010, the taxpayer may use Form IL-1040 to report and pay the use tax rather than filing Form ST-44, Illinois Use Tax Return. But, If the taxpayer owes more than $600 in use tax, the taxpayer must file Form ST-44.
2. Illinois State will no longer mail preprinted Form IL-1040 booklets. Taxpayers are encouraged to file electronically or download forms from the Illinois web site.
3.Schedule M, Other Additions and Subtractions for Individuals, includes a new subtraction for unjust imprisonment compensation awarded by the Illinois Court of Claims.
4.Illinois will now accept an electronically filed Form IL-1040 with an individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) when Form W-2,Wage and Tax Statement, shows wages reported to a Social Security number (SSN).
In the past, these returns could only be filed on paper. The taxpayer’s correct ITIN should be used as the identifying number at the top of Form IL-1040.
