A use tax is a form of sales tax that applies to purchases made outside Illinois, but used in the state. The tax, which is 6.25 percent of the purchase price, applies to online purchases made from businesses that don’t have brick and mortar locations in the state and that don’t charge Illinois sales taxes, according to the Illinois Department of Revenue.

Aw crap. I'm wrong. These guys are going for money they have no right to go for.

God, I'm glad Illinois is dust on my shoes.

Only the thing is, you think about it, they’re being *very* sneaky here. Consider the so called “amnesty” (ironic for a state overrun with illegals and their offspring because of liberal sanctuary policies) they're offering for a limited time only.

Oh, but not on the tax you supposedly owe going back seven years (IOW the statute of limitations), but merely on penalties and interest. Which means these corrupt blood suckers have evry intention of collecting every dime applicable to the years and if you have no receipts, be no doubt happy to apply the standard .006 to your income gross covering those years, and bill you for it, whether you in fact owe that amount or not!

That is to say, putting any figure on line 22 is tantemount to an admission that you do in fact owe the tax, and very likely owe even more going back to 2004!
So, even if you think you're off the hook by handing over the demanded extortion by the most notoriously corrupt state in the union?

You do that? And you can expect to hear from them again about the previous six years.
