State of Michigan individual income tax annual returns are now due on May 17, according to the Michigan Department of Treasury.
The new filing deadline comes after the Internal Revenue Service extended its deadline to the same date. For the benefit and convenience of taxpayers, both the beginning and end of income tax filing season are the same as the IRS.
"I'm happy to announce that we are giving Michiganders extra time on their taxes this year," said Governor Gretchen Whitmer. "This has been a difficult year for everyone, and by moving the income tax payment date,"
Under a Taxpayer Notice issued by the state Treasury Department, state individual income tax annual returns and payments are now due before 11:59 p.m. on May 17.
Individual taxpayers who need additional time to file beyond the May 17 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 May 17, to avoid additional interest and penalties.
Because the extension is limited to the 2020 taxes, first quarter estimates for tax year 2021 remain due on April 15.
Taxpayers who are owed a refund are encouraged to file their state income tax returns so they can receive their refunds. More information about e-filing is available at www.michigan.gov/mifastfile.
Changes to city income tax deadlines require state legislation.
