Illinois Employer Bundle: 3 Kits in One Download (Illinois Employer Kit 2027, 2027 Payroll Rate Change, 2027 Payroll Tax Setup)

Who it is for

Owners and bookkeepers running payroll for employees in Illinois, from 2027 rate changes to unemployment tax setup.

Not the right fit if

Your employees don't work in Illinois, or a payroll provider already handles these filings for you. Not a payroll service.

Why it is different

• 3 kits for 30% less than buying them one by one; each keeps its own folder in the download.
• The Illinois kits are built only from our Illinois data files: Illinois data files, checked November 2026 against 22 official pages, among them Illinois Department of Employment Security (IDES); IDES: 2026 State Experience Factor and Employers' UI Contribution Rates (EA-50); Official page; Illinois Department of Revenue: Publication 130, Withholding Illinois Income Tax for My Employees; Illinois Department of Revenue: I am an Illinois resident and earn wages in another state; IDES: New Hires; Illinois Department of Labor: Posters; Public Act 103-0879 (amends the Right to Privacy in the Workplace Act), Illinois General Assembly.
