Adds reference to:
35 ILCS 5/704A

Adds provisions to the introduced bill amending the Illinois Income Tax Act. In a Section concerning withholding taxes, provides that the Department of Revenue may require any withholding tax return and any W-2 Form that is required to be submitted to the Department to be submitted on magnetic media or electronically (currently, the Department may require the form to be submitted on magnetic media or electronically if the form is required to be submitted to the Internal Revenue Service on magnetic media or electronically).

House Committee Amendment No. 2
Adds reference to:

Further amends the Retailers' Occupation Tax Act. In provisions concerning certificates of registration, removes a requirement that publicly traded corporations must provide the last 4 digits of the social security numbers of their Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, and any other officer or employee with responsibility for preparing tax returns. Provides that retailers and servicemen that are required to file their federal income tax return electronically must also electronically file their State use and occupation tax returns unless the retailer or serviceman can demonstrate undue hardship. Provides that the Department of Revenue shall adopt rules creating an undue hardship waiver process consistent with the federal electronic filing undue hardship waiver. Provides that a retailer or serviceman that obtains a federal undue hardship waiver is deemed to meet the Department's standards for an undue hardship waiver.

House Floor Amendment No. 3
Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Reinserts the provisions of the introduced bill and House Amendment 1.
