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.

Sec. 702. Amount Exempt from Withholding.

For purposes of this Section
an employee shall be entitled to a withholding exemption in an amount equal
to the basic amount in Section 204(b) for each personal or
dependent exemption which he is
entitled to claim on his federal return pursuant to Section 151 of the
Internal Revenue Code; plus an allowance equal to $1,000 for each
$1,000 he is entitled to deduct from gross income in arriving at adjusted
gross income pursuant to Section 62 of the Internal Revenue Code;
plus an additional allowance equal to $1,000 for each $1,000 eligible for
subtraction on
his Illinois income tax return as Illinois real estate taxes paid during
the taxable year; or in any lesser amount claimed
by him. Every employee shall furnish to his employer such information as
is required for the employer to make an accurate withholding under this
Act. The employer may rely on this information for withholding purposes.
If any employee fails or refuses to furnish such information, the employer
shall withhold the full rate of tax from the employee's total compensation.
