What this figure does not include

  • The extra $1,000 exemptions for filers age 65 or older and for blind filers are described but not modelled.
  • The Illinois retirement-income subtraction is not modelled.
  • The exemption allowance is modelled at its full $2,850 per person with no income test. Illinois disallows the exemption allowance entirely once federal AGI exceeds $250,000 (single, married filing separately, head of household) or $500,000 (married filing jointly), so our figures understate Illinois tax above those thresholds.
