Illinois Launches Remote Retailer Sales Tax Amnesty Program

  • Illinois is offering a Remote Retailer Amnesty Program from August 1 to October 31, 2026, for eligible out-of-state retailers with no physical presence in the state.
  • The program lets retailers settle unpaid Illinois sales tax liabilities from January 1, 2021, through June 30, 2026.
  • Participants can use simplified rates: 9% for general merchandise and 1.75% for qualifying reduced-rate items like food and medicines.
  • Eligible retailers who fully pay or enter an approved repayment plan get all interest and penalties waived, and avoid civil or criminal prosecution.
  • To qualify, retailers must have met Illinois economic nexus requirements during the period and be registered in MyTax Illinois before applying.
