What is the Purpose of Form MI-1040-V?
The primary purpose of Form MI-1040-V is to simplify the payment process for electronically filed tax returns. By including this form with your payment, the Michigan Department of Treasury can efficiently link your payment to your e-filed return, ensuring faster processing and accurate crediting.
Who Uses Form MI-1040-V?
This form is specifically for taxpayers who have e-filed their Michigan individual income tax return (Form MI-1040). If you mailed a paper return, you don't need Form MI-1040-V. The payment instructions for paper filers are included with Form MI-1040.
How to Submit Payment with Form MI-1040-V
Step 1: Make your check payable to "State of Michigan."

Do I need to use Form MI-1040-V if I e-file my return?
No, using Form MI-1040-V is optional. You can make your payment electronically through your e-filing software provider if available. However, using the voucher simplifies the process and ensures proper allocation of your payment.
Can I pay electronically instead of mailing a check?
Yes, you can explore electronic payment options offered by your e-filing software provider. In this case, you wouldn't need to use Form MI-1040-V.
What happens if I miss the filing deadline or make a late payment?
