The State of Michigan Department of Treasury does require that you file an annual income tax return form. The most used individual income tax form is Form MI-1040.
What form do I use to claim my credits?
- There are a few different credits available in Michigan. These are the most common:
- Homestead Property Tax Credit- Form MI-1040CR
- Home Heating Credit- Form MI-1040CR-7
- Farmland Preservation Tax Credit- MI-1040CR-5
- Historic Preservation Tax Credit- 3581

When are my taxes due?
All income tax returns are due on April15th each year in the state of Michigan. If you find that you are unable to have your return completed on time then you may file an extension. The only way to receive an extension on your Michigan income tax is by filing an extension on your federal return. Once this is done then you will automatically receive one.
If you have your return completed by the due date but you are unable to make the payment in full then we would suggest sending in your return and applying for an installment plan. To apply for an installment plan, you will need to file Form 990.
