E-Filing is the Quickest Option for Receiving
Refunds
LANSING, Mich. – Michigan
taxpayers are reminded that state income tax returns are due in less than a
month, according to the Michigan Department of Treasury (Treasury).
By 11:59 p.m. on Tuesday,
April 17, state income tax returns must be submitted by e-filing or postmarked
through the U.S. Postal Service. Taxpayers are encouraged to e-file for greater
return accuracy, enabling Treasury to process refunds faster.
“Please do not wait to
file your state income tax return,” said Deputy State Treasurer Glenn White, head of
Treasury’s Tax Administration Group. “Taxpayers who rush to file their returns are
at a higher risk for making errors and delaying refunds.”
Choosing electronic
filing and direct deposit is convenient, safe and secure. Last year, more than
4.1 million Michigan taxpayers e-filed, which is nearly 83 percent of state
income tax filers.
Limited quantities of
printed tax forms have been distributed to public libraries, Michigan Department of
Health and Human Services county offices, Treasury field offices and northern
Michigan post offices.
For the convenience of
taxpayers, both federal and state tax returns are due on Tuesday, April 17.
