Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(35 ILCS 5/506.5)

Sec. 506.5. Returns based on substitute W-2 forms.

For a taxpayer who has
received wages from an employer in Illinois, loses or was not provided a W-2
form, is unable to obtain a duplicate W-2 form from the employer, and
subsequently obtains a substitute W-2 form from the Internal Revenue Service,
it shall be presumed that tax was withheld under Article 7 of this Act in an
appropriate amount based on the number of withholding exemptions used to
determine the federal income tax withholding for the taxpayer if (i) the
substitute W-2 form indicates the appropriate amount of federal taxes withheld,
(ii) the taxpayer files a copy of the substitute W-2 form with his or her
Illinois income tax return, and (iii) the taxpayer provides a mailing address
to which any correspondence or refund, if any, may be sent.
