These costs are related to the implementation activities of the Illinois Department of Public Health and the development of a database to track compliance at the local level, accept receipts from the newly created funds and provide reimbursement for local veterinarians providing services. Fiscal Note (Illinois Department of Revenue) There are currently nine tax checkoffs on the IL-1040 tax form. The IL-1040 could accommodate ten tax checkoffs before the Department of Revenue would have to expand it to include a separate schedule for tax checkoffs. If a tax checkoff does not collect at least $100,000 by October 1, it is dropped from the form for the following year. If the number of tax checkoffs added this year plus the number of existing checkoffs that remain on the form for next year is greater than ten, the Department of Revenue would have to expand the IL-1040 to include a schedule for the tax checkoffs, which would cost the Department of Revenue approximately $40,000 per year.Fiscal Note (Department of Revenue) There are currently nine tax checkoffs on the IL-1040 tax form.
