LANSING – Taxpayers have less than a month to file their state individual income tax return, according to the Michigan Department of Treasury (Treasury).
State individual income tax returns must be filed electronically or postmarked through the U.S. Postal Service by 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday, April 15. For more information about e-filing, go to www.mifastfile.org.
“There are less than four weeks remaining in this year’s individual income tax filing season," said State Treasurer Rachael Eubanks. “Taxpayers still have plenty of time to file their state individual income tax returns. For the most accurate returns, considering electronic filing or using a reputable preparer. Taking time out of your schedule and filing today ensures you receive all the tax credits and deductions you are entitled to receive.”
To date, more than 2.1 million returns for the 2024 tax year have been processed, providing more than $1.61 billion in refunds. The average refund amount is $920.
Printed tax forms are available online and at public libraries, post offices in northern Michigan and the Upper Peninsula, Department of Health and Human Services county offices, and Treasury field offices.
For the benefit and convenience of taxpayers, both federal and state of Michigan individual income tax returns are due April 15, 2025. City of Detroit individual income tax returns are also due on April 15, 2025.
Taxpayers who owe tax must make any outstanding payments by April 15, 2025.
