“Illinois sent me an LTR-425 Identity Verification Letter, what exact documents do I need to upload to the MyTax Illinois portal to release my frozen refund?”

High urgencyQuick Question · 30 min · $95

An Illinois identity verification letter and a frozen refund often involve a mix of matching records, confirming who filed the return, and showing that the return details align with state records. The exact upload package can vary based on the letter number, the tax year involved, and whether the return was filed electronically or on paper. In many cases, the portal looks for identity documents, a copy of the notice, and supporting tax records that connect the filer to the return. The timing and format of the upload can also affect how quickly the refund review moves forward. A CPA who reads your specifics can usually tell you, in plain English, where this lands.

In your 30-minute session, the KGOB advisor handling it will:

  • Read your exact situation and tell you, in plain English, what’s actually going on.
  • Lay out your options and the trade-offs — no jargon, no judgment.
  • Give you a clear next step you can act on, whether that’s with us or on your own.
