Bet You Didn’t Know – August 8, 2025

by

In this episode of Today’s Tax Talk, Attorney Steven A. Leahy shines a spotlight on two crucial topics for Illinois taxpayers: the Illinois Tax Amnesty Program and a little-known trap hiding in plain sight—Illinois-specific 1099 filing rules.

First, we unpack Illinois’ latest tax amnesty offer: who’s eligible, what taxes it covers, and how to seize the opportunity before the clock runs out.

Then, Steven turns to a topic few business owners even know exists—Illinois requires certain businesses to file their own state-level 1099s. That’s right. You thought filing with the IRS was enough? Think again. We break down who needs to file, what forms are required, and why ignoring this obscure state rule could lead to penalties you never saw coming.

If you’re a scrap metal dealer, work with catalytic converters, or issue 1099s in Illinois—you can’t afford to miss this.
