Illinois Tax-Return Preparation

Get help preparing your federal and Illinois individual income tax returns. We review your documents, explain what is needed and help you move from a stack of tax records to a completed return.

A clear process for your federal and state returns

Tax preparation starts with understanding your year: where you lived, the income you received, changes in your household and the records supporting deductions or credits. Advocate Tax Solutions works with Illinois clients to organize those details and prepare the applicable returns.

You do not need to owe back taxes to contact us. If you need annual return preparation, choose Illinois tax-return preparation on the inquiry form.

Ask About Tax Preparation

How we help

  • Federal and Illinois individual returns: review your information and prepare the returns that apply to your situation.
  • Missing prior-year returns: identify the years that need attention and the records needed to prepare them.
  • Amended returns: review an error or omitted item and determine whether a correction is needed.
  • Questions about notices: review correspondence related to a filed return and discuss the next step.

If you also have an unpaid balance, we can discuss that separately from return preparation. Filing a return and resolving a tax debt are different parts of the process.

What to gather before we prepare your return

Start with your prior-year return, Forms W-2 and 1099, records of other income, and documentation for deductions or credits that may apply. Let us know about a move, marriage, divorce, new dependent, retirement or a change in work.

If you worked or lived in more than one state, tell us during intake so we can review the filing implications. Illinois filing requirements depend on residency and other facts; receiving income in a state does not make every taxpayer’s filing situation the same.

Use the initial inquiry for contact details only. We will explain how to provide the records needed for your tax-preparation work.

Common tax-preparation questions

Can you help if I have not filed for several years?

Yes. Start by telling us which years are missing and what records you have. We will review the filing needs before preparing the applicable returns.

Do I need a separate Illinois return?

Illinois has its own individual income tax return, Form IL-1040. Whether you must file depends on the state’s filing requirements and your circumstances. We review your federal and state filing needs together.

How much will my return cost?

The work depends on the forms, records and tax years involved. Contact us to discuss your situation and the applicable fee before work begins.
