Individual Income Tax Filing Season Begins

State Individual Income Tax Returns Due on April 18, 2023

LANSING, Mich. – State Treasurer Rachael Eubanks today announced that Michigan’s individual income tax filing season has officially begun.

Michiganders can start filing their 2022 tax year state individual income tax returns online (https://www.michigan.gov/taxes/efile) or by mailing paper forms (https://www.michigan.gov/taxes/iit-forms) through the U.S. Postal Service. All individual income tax returns must be e-filed or postmarked by Tuesday, April 18, 2023.

“It’s hard to believe that individual income tax season is already here,” State Treasurer Rachael Eubanks said. “My team is ready to begin processing your state income tax return today. For the easiest and quickest experience, I recommend filing electronically. This helps ensure tax returns are accurate and improves tax refund turnaround times.”

Choosing electronic filing and direct deposit is convenient, safe and secure.    Last year, more than 4.8 million Michigan taxpayers e-filed, which is 89% of state individual income tax filers. 

For more information about e-filing, go to www.mifastfile.org.

Printed tax forms are being distributed and will be available in limited quantities by mid-February at public libraries, some northern Michigan post offices, Michigan 

Department of Health and Human Services county offices and Treasury field offices.

For the benefit and convenience of taxpayers, both the beginning and end of the individual income tax filing season are the same as the Internal Revenue Service.
