Michigan taxpayers who missed the April 18 state individual income tax filing deadline still have options for filing a late return, according to the Michigan Department of Treasury.
Glenn White, who oversees Treasury’s Revenue Services programs, said taxpayers who have an outstanding refund shouldn’t hesitate to file a return, and that the department will work with taxpayers who have an outstanding tax debt and cannot make full payment to find payment options.
The Treasury recommends filing a return to claim an outstanding refund or avoid interest and penalties, and paying as much as possible.
Taxpayers who receive a final tax bill and are unable to pay the entire amount owed can request a penalty waiver, make monthly payments through an installment agreement, or file an Offer in Compromise application. The last three options should be filed separately from the state income tax return.
