Michigan Income Tax and State Tax
Michigan
"The Great Lakes State"
Prepare and eFile your Michigan State together with your IRS 2022 Tax Return (e.g resident, nonresident, or part-year resident returns). Be aware that the IRS and the Michigan State State Tax Agency requires you to eFile a Federal Income Tax Return at the same time you e-File a State Tax Return. This is an IRS and State Tax Agency policy, not an eFile.com policy. Thus, you technically cannot eFile anywhere - not just eFile.com - a Michigan Tax Return without also e-filing the associated IRS Tax Return. But there is good news, please read on.
Tip: File on time, even if you can't pay on time, as the late filing penalties are higher than the late payment penalties. Estimate your possible IRS penalties by using our free PENALTYucator tool.
Detailed instructions on how you can only prepare and mail in - not eFile - a Michigan 2022 Tax Return - here via eFile.com. You can complete and sign the 2022 tax return forms online here on eFile, before you download, print and mail them to the state tax agency. The address is listed on the form. The IRS mailing address can be looked up here.

How To File a Michigan Tax Extension
For Tax Year 2022, if you expect a refund or you don't owe taxes, you do not have to file a tax extension. However, if you believe you will owe taxes and can't file on time, you should take action and here are the options available for Michigan:
- If you do not owe Michigan income taxes by the tax deadline of April 18, 2023, you do not have to prepare and file a MI tax extension. In case you expect a MI tax refund, you will need to file or e-File your MI tax return in order to receive your tax refund money.
- If you owe MI income taxes, you will either have to submit a MI tax return or extension by the April 18, 2023 tax deadline in order to avoid late filing penalties. The extension will only avoid late filing penalties until Oct. 16, 2023. Note: Unless you pay all your Taxes or eFile your tax return by Oct. 16, 2023, the late filing penalties will start again after Oct. 16, 2023. You have the following two options to file a MI tax extension:
- Pay all or some of your Michigan income taxes online at: Michigan e-Payments using an e-check or Debit / Credit Cards. Paying your MI taxes online on time will be considered a MI tax extension and you do not have to mail in Form 4.
- Complete Form 4, include a Check or Money Order, and mail both to the address on Form 4.
- Even if you filed an extension, you will still need to file your MI tax return either via eFile or by paper by Oct. 16, 2023.
- Important: If you owe Michigan and/or IRS income taxes and do not file an IRS and Michigan tax return or extension by April 18, 2023, you will be subject to IRS and MI late filing penalties. Estimate IRS late filing, payment penalties. In addition, if you do not pay your taxes by April 18, 2023, you will be subject to late tax payment penalties. Filing an extension on time will ONLY eliminate the late filing penalties but not the late tax payment penalties. Late filing penalties are generally higher than late payment penalties, thus file something on time even if you can't pay anything on time!
The deadline to e-file an IRS extension for 2022 Tax Returns is April 18, 2023. e-File a 2022 Tax Extension for free on eFile.com. Here are instructions on whether you should consider a Tax Extension or not.
The extended IRS/Michigan eFile deadline is Oct. 16, 2023 - eFileIT. Or, if you plan to file or mail-in a Michigan tax return on paper, the MI Mailing Addresses are listed below.
You can select one of these payment options either after you have e-filed or filed your 2020 Michigan Tax Return. Alternatively, you can pay Michigan income taxes here prior to filing (e.g in the case of an extension). Plus, you can make online Michigan tax estimate payments for next tax year. If you eFiled your taxes and pay online, you do not have to send in Michigan paper forms (e.g. payer tax return, extension form, or tax estimate form).
This is a free option if you want to pay your taxes owed via your bank account.
Submit a tax payment through Michigan e-Payment site. When you're on the site, select "make a Debit or Credit Card e-Payment" option and select "2019 MI-1040" as your payment type, then follow the on-screen prompts to enter and submit your information (e.g. SSN, Tax Year, Primary Taxpayer Name, and Spouse's information).
Use this payment option if you want to pay your tax payment via your credit or debit card. There is an 2.35% fee of the total tax payments for credit cards or a flat $3.95 fee for debit cards.
Use this payment option if you wish to submit your payment via check or money order in the mail.
Estimated Tax Payment Options
Choose one of these options:
1)
Enter your information with the Michigan Department of Treasury e-Payment Site to submit your estimated payment and choose "2020 Estimate". 2) Pay via ACH credit by sending tax payments from your bank account to the Michigan Department of Treasury. 3)
Pay via credit or debit card (choose the "2020 Estimate and the Quarter to apply your payment")
. Be aware that a service fee is added to each payment you submit with your card. 4) Complete voucher
Form MI-1040ES. Attach a check or money order for the tax period payable to "State of Michigan". Write your last four Social Security numbers and "2020 MI-1040ES" on the check or money order. Mail the voucher and check/money order to the
Form MI-1040ES address here.
Use one of these payment options if you want to submit estimated taxes rather than submit all your taxes owed at once.
Many of these online IRS tax payment options can be used before or after you e-Filed your Income Taxes. You can pay tax extension and tax estimate payments. For estimate payments, you do not have to submit a form.
Extension you can eFile on eFile.com for free.
These payment options are independent from you preparing and eFiling your tax returns on eFile.com. eFile.com offers these payment options for the convenience of all tax payers.
