Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner extended tax deadlines for residents in counties struggling with recent flooding.
The affected counties include Lee, Ogle, Stephenson, Whiteside, Rock Island, Carroll, Henry, and Jo Daviess. This expands a privilege extended previously to Kane, Lake, McHenry and Cook counties. The waiver applies to those whose tax returns are due between July 11 and Dec. 1.
The Illinois Department of Revenue has set up the REV.DisasterRelief@illinois.gov email account dedicated to answering tax questions of residents affected by the floods.
