Michigan tax details

The Michigan Department of Treasury added new penalty relief options for taxpayers affected by a declared disaster area in Michigan. You may also request penalty relief if you are eligible for a federal extension due to service in a combat zone. If you are a business owner, any Bonus Depreciation or Section 179 expenses taken on your federal return may need to be added back to your Michigan income as an Other Addition.

Taxpayers will continue to see typical tax breaks like the Home Heating Credit, Homestead Credit, and Retirement Subtraction. The Home Heating Credit now requires demographic information for each person in your household, while the Retirement Subtraction was expanded to allow more individuals to qualify. In addition, taxpayers may now claim a credit for eligible organ donation expenses.
