- Illinois will bring back its back-to-school sales tax holiday in 2026 as part of the new $55.9 billion state budget.
- The tax-free shopping period runs Aug. 7-16 and will cover school supplies, clothing, computers, and other necessities.
- This year’s holiday is more generous than the 2022 version, when the tax rate was only reduced instead of eliminated.
- The budget also includes a six-month pause on the state gas tax starting July 1, 2026, to help with rising costs.
