Nearly all taxpayers can use this new service with the following exceptions

• Customers with more than 160 locations
• Customers who report prepaid sales tax on motor fuel
• Customers who use the Temporary Storage or Direct Pay option

Simply log onto www.Iltax.com and get a Personal Identification Number (PIN).
