How long does it take to receive your illinois state tax refund by direct deposit?

In Illinois, if you file your state tax return electronically and choose direct deposit, you can typically expect to receive your refund within 10 to 15 business days. However, processing times may vary depending on factors such as the accuracy of your return and the volume of returns being processed. If you file a paper return, it may take longer, often up to 8 weeks. Always check the Illinois Department of Revenue website for the most current information on refund processing times.
