Illinois Security Measures Enacted; IL-1040 Refund Release Date Impacted. The Illinois Department of Revenue is taking additional steps to protect
Illinois taxpayers from identity theft and fraud. To ensure the security and
confidentiality of taxpayer information, the Department has initiated a review
process to combat against fraudulently filed returns. As a result of the new security measures, refunds may take longer to process this year than in previous years.
