Michigan E-file

Individual Taxpayer

E-file enables you to submit your Michigan and federal individual income tax returns using a computer instead of mailing paper returns. You can even e-file your Michigan return separately from your federal return (State-Only e-file). If you choose to e-file your Michigan tax return alone, be sure to calculate your federal return first before completing and e-filing your Michigan return. You may be able to e-file for FREE.

E-file Return Status

If your online software provider sends e-mail notifications regarding the status of your return, you may want to verify a spam filter is not blocking e-mail notifications from the software provider's e-mail address.

If you e-file using a tax preparer, you will receive notification from the tax preparer if the IRS or Michigan rejected your return.

Making Payments

You can e-file your return at any time during the e-file processing season (mid-January through April 15th), however Form MI-1040-V (Michigan's e-file Payment Voucher) must be included when payment is submitted. Your tax preparer or computer software will provide a copy of the form. The Form MI-1040-V is also available on this Web site. Do not send a copy of your tax return with your payment and voucher.
