State individual income tax returns due this month
The Michigan Department of Treasury is reminding taxpayers that state individual income tax returns are due in two weeks.
State income tax returns must be submitted electronically or sent through the U.S. Postal Service before midnight on Wednesday, July 15.
Individuals who e-file typically receive their refunds around two weeks after receiving confirmation the tax return was accepted by the state of Michigan.
Taxpayers can pay their outstanding tax balance by eCheck, debit or credit card.
Individual taxpayers who need additional time to file beyond the July 15 deadline can request an extension to Oct. 15.
Taxpayers requesting additional time to file should estimate their tax liability and pay any taxes owed by July 15 to avoid additional interest and penalties.
For additional information, visit www.michigan.gov/incometax or follow the state Treasury Department on Twitter at @MITreasury.
