The Michigan Department of Treasury is reminding taxpayers that state and federal individual income tax returns are due in a week.
State individual income tax returns must be submitted electronically or sent through the U.S. Postal Service before midnight on Monday, April 18. For the convenience of taxpayers, the state’s individual income tax deadline is the same date set by the Internal Revenue Service.
“There is still time to file a return or make a payment,” State Treasurer Rachael Eubanks said. “Taxpayers who owe taxes should make their payments on time to avoid penalties and interest. I encourage those taxpayers who may be owed a refund to not wait to file their returns.”
Choosing electronic filing and direct deposit is convenient, safe and secure. Last year, more than 4.8 million Michigan taxpayers e-filed, which is 88% of state income tax filers. For more information about e-filing, go to www.mifastfile.org.
Individuals who e-file typically receive their refunds approximately two weeks after receiving confirmation that the tax return was accepted by the state of Michigan.
Taxpayers can pay their outstanding tax balance by check, money order, eCheck, debit or credit card.
Individual taxpayers who need additional time to file a return beyond the April 18 deadline can request an extension to Oct. 18, 2022. Taxpayers requesting additional time to file should estimate their tax liability and pay any taxes owed by April 18, 2022, to avoid additional interest and penalties.
