As the deadline for state individual income tax returns approaches, the Michigan Department of Treasury (Treasury) is reminding taxpayers to ensure their filings are in order. Returns must be submitted electronically or postmarked by 11:59 p.m. on Monday, April 15th, through the U.S. Postal Service.
Deputy State Treasurer Kavita Kale emphasized the importance of filing before the deadline, highlighting significant tax benefits available for Michigan taxpayers this year. Notably, the Michigan Earned Income Tax Credit for Working Families has quintupled to 30%, and retirees have enhanced options for their retirement benefits.
With over 2.1 million returns processed for the 2023 tax year, totaling more than $1.46 billion in refunds, taxpayers are encouraged to take advantage of e-filing or seek assistance from reputable tax preparers. Tax forms are available online, at public libraries, post offices, Department of Health and Human Services county offices, and Treasury field offices.
