A recent study shows that Illinois is one of the worst states to get tax help. The report by Wallet Hub indicates that the Land of Lincoln is rated 42nd out of 50 states. The factors include how easy it is to track down an accountant, how much the accountant charges, and the average tax refund for each state. Illinois is in the middle of the pack when it comes to tax help affordability. D.C. is at the top of the overall list.
