Closing and opening tax accounts
Opening tax accounts
You can use MyTax Illinois to add new tax registrations. Logon to MyTax Illinois, choose “More…,” and then under the “Registration Information” panel, select “Register for New Tax accounts.” You can also select “Reopen Closed Accounts” if you need to register again for a tax account type that you had previously closed.
Note: Businesses registered as Sole Proprietors must contact Central Registration for assistance in registering for additional tax accounts.
Closing tax accounts
To request to close a tax account, next to the account on the Summary screen, choose “View more account options,” and under the “Account Maintenance” panel, choose “Request to close account.”
