The Illinois Supreme Court rejected a protest that state income tax is a tax on federal income tax and upheld a Cook County dismissal of Alan Kawitt’s double taxation claim. The ruling allows the state to tax the same income and notes the General Assembly could exempt federal taxes. Illinois does not.
