5PM Deadline to Access MyTax for Liquor License Renewal 2.11.2026

ILCC Portal Events
Starting February 11, 2026 at 5 PM CST the ILCC is pausing all liquor license renewals in MyTaxIllinois to prepare for the transition to the new ILCC Portal. The blackout period is expected to last several days, during which no licensing activity of any kind will be processed nor accepted.
Wednesday, February 11, 2026
12:01 AM to 05:00 PM CST

Licensees are encouraged to submit January and February renewals before February 11, 2026 to ensure a smooth renewal process. Waiting until your renewal deadline may result in processing delays as the transition occurs. 

With the exception of tax reporting, licensees will lose access to the Liquor Licensing application capabilities in MyTaxIllinois at 5pm CST on February 11, 2026.  

Recommended next steps: 

  • Log into MyTaxIllinois  
  • Within MyTaxIllinois archive your LetterID before February 10, 2026 (this is also available on your physical liquor license certificate) 
  • Submit your renewal as early as possible, no later than February 11, 2026 
  • Plan for the Ownership/Officer of the Business to claim their account in the new portal starting once the portal is live
    • You will need your license certificate to claim your account. 

Early action will help avoid disruption and ensure timely renewal. Licensees will not be able to access the new ILCC Portal until after the transition period. However, licensees will be able to create an ILogIn account and view the ILCC Portal “Coming Soon” Icon in the ILogin Dashboard.
