Estimated Tax Payment Options

2) Submit your estimated tax payment via the Link2Gov site, the Official Payments site, or the PayILtax site.
3) Complete estimated payment voucher Form IL-1040-ES. Include your check or your money order with the voucher payable to "Illinois Department of Revenue". Mail the voucher and check/money order to the Form IL-1040-ES mailing address here.

Use one of these payment options if you want to submit estimated tax payments rather than submit all the taxes you owe at one time.
