Who must file use tax in Illinois?

If you use or consume taxable items without paying Illinois sales tax (e.g., online or out-of-state purchases), you owe use tax. We calculate and report this on your ST-1 return.

When are Illinois sales tax returns due?

Monthly returns are due the 20th of the following month; quarterly returns are due the 20th after quarter-end; annual returns are due January 20. We manage this calendar for you.

How do late penalties work?

IDOR assesses penalties and interest on late filings or payments. Our focus is on-time filing and accurate payments to minimize penalty risk.

What’s included in monthly vs quarterly service?

Both include data checks, ST-1 preparation, use-tax review, e-filing, and payment scheduling. The primary difference is the frequency of reminders and submissions.

Do marketplaces still require me to file?

Even if platforms like Amazon or Shopify collect and remit tax, you often must still file and report marketplace sales correctly to avoid double-paying or missing required reports.

Why sales & use tax feels hard (and risky)

“I would be lost without their help.”

“Should I do it myself or hire someone?”

“What if I mess something up and get penalized?”

Illinois Department of Revenue (IDOR) rules, MyTax Illinois, changing local rates, and multistate sales can be confusing. Deadlines come fast—monthly, quarterly, or annual—and letters for “failure to file” create stress and interest charges.
