There's only one week left for Illinois residents to file their taxes.

This year's deadline is April 18, and an estimated 2 million taxpayers are waiting until the last minute to send in their returns.  However, Department of Revenue spokesman Terry Horstman says more have already filed. 

"More than 4 million taxpayers have already filed their 2016 Individual Income tax returns, and have received refunds totaling over $760 million." 

87% of received tax returns were filed electronically.  Residents can find more information at the Department's website.
