Drake Tax - IL - Property Tax Credit

Illinois requires submission of additional information before allowing the Illinois Property Tax Credit. You will need the actual property tax statement from your clients in order to complete the PTC screen in the IL data entry under the Credits tab. If you omit this information, the property tax credit does not compute and the return produces an EF Message to alert you that the information is required. In this event, the property tax amount entered on the federal screen A will still flow to the Illinois Property Tax Credit form, but the form will remain incomplete and EF Message 0631 is produced.

To clear EF Message 0631, go to States > Illinois > Credits tab > PTC screen > enter applicable entries.
