Help With Your Taxes New for 2020 Tier 2 Michigan Standard Deduction. If the older of you or your spouse (if married filing jointly) was born during the period January 1, 1946 through December 31, 1952, and reached the age of 67 before December 31, 2020, you may deduct $20,000 for single or married filing separately filers or $40,000 for joint filers against all income, rather than solely against retirement and pension income. Tier 3 Michigan Standard Deduction. If the older of you or your spouse (if married filing jointly) was born during the period January 1, 1953 through January 1, 1954, and reached the age of 67 on or before December 31, 2020, you may deduct the personal exemption amount and taxable Social Security benefits, military compensation (including retirement benefits), Michigan National Guard retirement benefits and railroad retirement benefits included in adjusted gross income (AGI), or claim a deduction against all income, of $20,000 for a return filed as single or married filing separately, or $40,000 for a married filing joint return. For more information, see the Tier 3 Michigan Standard Deduction instructions and Worksheet 2 starting on page 15. Surviving Spouse Benefits. A surviving spouse who was born after 1945 and has reached the age of 67, has not remarried, and claimed a subtraction for retirement and pension benefits on a return jointly filed with the decedent in the year they died, may elect to claim the larger of (a) the survivor’s Michigan Standard Deduction or (b) the retirement and pension benefits subtraction based on the older deceased spouse’s year of birth subject to the limits available for a single filer. See “Retirement Benefits Election for Tier 2 and Tier 3 Surviving Spouses” on page 18. Expanded Subtraction for Retirement Benefits. If the older of you or your spouse (if married filing jointly) was born after January 1, 1954 but before January 2, 1959, have reached age 62 and receive Social Security exempt retirement benefits due to employment with a governmental agency, you may be eligible for a retirement and pension deduction.

General Information Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) Throughout this booklet, Treasury refers to adjusted gross income as AGI. When AGI is asked for, copy your AGI directly from your U.S. Form 1040. Tax Rate, Exemption Allowances, and Deductions for Retirees and Seniors The income tax rate for 2020 is 4.25 percent. For tax year 2020, the personal and stillbirth exemption allowances are $4,750. The special exemption allowance for deaf, blind, hemiplegic, paraplegic, quadriplegic, or totally and permanently disabled is $2,800. The exemption allowance for qualified disabled veterans is $400. See page 9 for more information. Retirement and pension benefits included in AGI from a pension or an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) may be deductible. See Form 4884 instructions beginning on page 16 for further details regarding retirement and pension benefit deductions based on year of birth and filing status. Senior citizens born before 1946 may be able to deduct part of their interest, dividends, and capital gains that are included in AGI. For 2020, the deduction is limited to a maximum of $11,983 for single filers and $23,966 for joint filers. See Michigan Schedule 1 (Schedule 1) instructions beginning on page 12 for further details regarding dividend/interest/capital gains deductions. Filing Extension Granted for Military Personnel Serving in a Combat Zone United States military personnel serving in a combat zone on April 15, 2021, will be given 180 days after leaving the combat zone to file their federal and State tax returns and will be exempt from penalties and interest. When e-filing, service men and women serving in combat zones should enter the words “Combat Zone” in the preparer notes. When filing a paper return, print “Combat Zone” in ink on the top of page 1 of the MI-1040. Appeals of Adjusted Refunds or Credits Taxpayers have 60 days from the issuance of refund denials, refund adjustments, or Treasury decisions (other than final assessment), that may be appealed under Section 21 of the Revenue Act, to request informal conferences. Choose e-file Instead of Paper Returns to Get Your Refund Fast E-filing eliminates many of the errors that lengthen processing times. E-filed returns are usually processed within 14 days. Tax preparers who complete 11 or more individual income tax returns are required to e-file all eligible returns. Visit www.MIfastfile.org for a list of e-file resources, how to find an e-file provider, and more information on free e-file services. When e-filing, do not mail a paper copy of your return. Property Tax Credits/Refunds A reminder from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS): Michigan homestead property tax credits and Principal Residence Exemption refunds received in 2020 may be taxable on your 2020 U.S. Form 1040. If you claimed an itemized deduction for property taxes on your 2019 U.S. Form 1040 and then received a refund in 2020 from the State or your local unit of government for a portion of those taxes, you must include that refund as income on your 2020 U.S. Form 1040. If you have questions about the taxability (for federal tax purposes) of the refunds, call the IRS at 1-800-829-1040. What You Should Know About Your Michigan 1099-G If you claimed itemized deductions on your 2019 federal income tax return and received a Michigan tax refund in 2020, you will be mailed a 2020 Michigan 1099-G in early 2021 that shows the amount of your 2019 refund that was issued in 2020. The refund amount will include any amounts credited forward to 2020 estimated tax, prior year refunds issued in 2020, refund amounts intercepted for back tax assessments or other debts (such as child support or court-ordered garnishments), and any portion of a refund assigned to pay use tax or any amount you contributed as a voluntary contribution. The refund amount will not include homestead property tax credits, earned income tax credits, or other refundable tax credits claimed on your MI-1040. The 1099-G is not a bill. Visit www.michigan.gov/taxes for more information about your Michigan 1099-G. A Note About Debts By law, any money you owe to the State and other state agencies must be deducted from your refund or credit before it is issued. Debts include money you owe for past-due taxes, student loans, child support due to the Friend of the Court, an IRS levy, money due to a state agency, a court-ordered garnishment, or other court orders. Taxpayers who are married filing jointly may receive an Income Allocation for Non-Obligated Spouse (Form 743) after the return is filed. Completing and filing this form may limit the portion of the refund that can be applied to a debt. If Treasury applies all or part of your refund to any of these debts, you will receive a letter of explanation. Who Must File a Return File a return if you owe tax, are due a refund, or your AGI exceeds your exemption allowance. You should also file a Michigan return if you file a federal return, even if you do not owe Michigan tax. This will eliminate unnecessary correspondence from Treasury. If your parents (or someone else) can claim you as a dependent on their return and your AGI is $1,500 or less if single or married filing separately or $3,000 or less if filing a joint return, you do not need to file a return unless you are claiming a refund of withholding. Important: If your income subject to tax (MI-1040, line 14) is less than your personal exemption allowance (line 15) and Michigan income tax was withheld from your earnings, you must file a return to claim a refund of the tax withheld. Who Must File a Joint Return If you are considered married for federal tax purposes, you must file your Michigan return using either the married filing jointly or married filing separately filing status. This applies to all couples who are married under the laws of the State of Michigan or under the laws of another state. If you filed a joint federal 3

income tax return, you must file a joint Michigan income tax return. If you and your spouse filed separate federal returns, you may file separate or joint Michigan returns. When to File Your Return Always complete your federal tax return before your Michigan return. You may file a Michigan return even if you are not required to file a federal return. Your return must be postmarked no later than April 15, 2021, to avoid penalty and interest. Payment must be included with your return. Make your check payable to “State of Michigan” and write the last four digits of your Social Security number(s) and “2020 income tax” on the front of the check. If you cannot file before the due date and you owe tax, you may file an Application for Extension of Time to File Michigan Tax Returns (Form 4) with your payment. This allows an extension of time to file, but not to pay. Payment is due no later than April 15, 2021, otherwise penalty and interest may apply. See page 5. In order to obtain a refund, you must file a return claiming the refund within four years of the due date. Keep a copy of your return and all supporting schedules for six years. Penalty and Interest Added for Filing and Paying Late If you file and pay late, Treasury will add a penalty of 5 percent of the tax due. After the second month, penalty will increase by an additional 5 percent per month, or fraction thereof, up to a maximum of 25 percent of the tax due. If you pay late, you must add penalty and interest to the amount due. Visit www.michigan.gov/taxes for the latest interest rates. Identity Theft Tax-related identity theft occurs when someone uses your Social Security number to file a tax return claiming a fraudulent refund. Victims of tax-related identity theft can assist Treasury by following the steps listed below: • Paper file your return and include all required schedules. • Send copies, not originals, of the following documents: 1. Federal return and schedules (if applicable). 2. Identity theft affidavits (if applicable). 3. Government-issued photo identification. 4. W-2s and/or 1099s. Even if the above steps are followed, Treasury may require additional identity verification and you may be asked: • To complete an identity confirmation quiz, which is a tool Treasury uses to assist in the protection of taxpayers against tax-related identity theft. • To provide additional supporting documentation as needed. Visit www.michigan.gov/identitytheft for more information regarding tax-related identity theft. Foreign Addresses Enter your street address and city on the “Home Address” line. Enter your province or state name, country code and foreign postal code on the “City or Town” line in that order. Refer to the example below. 1. Filer’s First Name JESSICA M.I. B Last Name SMITH If a Joint Return, Spouse’s First Name M.I. Last Name Home Address (Number, Street, or P.O. Box) 123 MAIN ST. MONTREAL City or Town QUEBEC CA A1B 2C3 State ZIP Code How to Complete and File Paper Returns Completing Michigan Forms Treasury captures the information from paper income tax returns using an Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR) process. If completing a paper return, avoid unnecessary delays by following the guidelines below so your return is processed quickly and accurately. • Use black or blue ink. Do not use pencil, red ink, or felt tip pens. Do not highlight information. • Print using capital letters (UPPERCASE). Capital letters are easier to recognize. • Print numbers like this: 0123456789 Do not put a slash through the zero ( ) or seven ( ). • Fill check boxes with an [X]. Do not use a check mark. • Leave lines/boxes blank if they do not apply or if the amount is zero unless otherwise directed. • Do not write extra numbers, symbols, or notes on the return, such as cents, dashes, decimal points, commas, or dollar signs. Enclose any explanations on a separate sheet unless you are instructed to write explanations on the return. • Stay within the lines when entering information in boxes. • If a form is multiple pages, all pages must be filed. • Report all amounts in whole dollars. Round down amounts of 49 cents or less. Round up amounts of 50 cents or more. If cents are entered on the form, they will be treated as whole dollar amounts. Assemble your returns and attachments. Do not staple your check to your return. A sequence number is printed in the upper-right corner of the following Michigan forms to help you assemble them in the correct order behind your MI-1040: • Additions and Subtractions (Schedule 1) • Nonresident and Part-Year Resident (Schedule NR) • Farmland Preservation Tax Credit (MI-1040CR-5) • Schedule of Taxes and Allocation to Each Agreement (Schedule CR-5) • Property Tax Credit (MI-1040CR or MI-1040CR-2) • Schedule of Apportionment (MI-1040H) • Underpayment of Estimated Income Tax (MI-2210) • Withholding Tax Schedule (Schedule W) • Adjustments of Capital Gains and Losses (MI-1040D) • Adjustments of Gains and Losses From Sales of Business Property (MI-4797) • Voluntary Contributions Schedule (4642) 4

• Sales and Other Dispositions of Capital Assets (MI-8949) • Pension Schedule (4884) • Pension Continuation Schedule (4973) • Married Filing Separately and Divorced or Separated Claimants Schedule (5049) • Michigan Amended Return Explanation of Changes (Schedule AMD) • Michigan Net Operating Loss Schedule MI-1045 (Schedule MI-1045) • Michigan Signed Distribution Statement for Joint Owners of Farmland Development Rights Agreements (Form 5678) • Michigan Resident Credit for Tax Imposed by a Canadian Province (Form 777) • Federal Schedules (see Table 3, page 59) If you are also filing a Home Heating Credit Claim (MI-1040CR-7), do not attach it to your return; fold it and leave it loose in the envelope. If you are also filing a City of Detroit return, do not staple it to your State of Michigan return; fold it and leave it loose in the envelope. Where to Mail Your Return Mail refund, credit, or zero due returns to: Michigan Department of Treasury Lansing, MI 48956 If you owe tax, mail your return to: Michigan Department of Treasury Lansing, MI 48929 Make your check payable to “State of Michigan” and print the last four digits of your Social Security number and “2020 income tax” on the front of your check. To ensure accurate processing of your return, send one check for each return. Do not staple your check to your return. Do not mail your 2020 return in the same envelope with a return for years prior to 2020; mail your 2020 return in a separate envelope. Important Reminders • Missing pages. The MI-1040, MI-1040CR, MI-1040CR-2, and MI-1040CR-7 are multiple-page forms. All pages must be completed and submitted for Treasury to process the return timely. • Use correct tax year forms. For example, do not use a 2019 form to file your 2020 return. • Required attachments. If you do not include all the required attachments with your return, your refund may be reduced, denied, or delayed. • Schedules received alone. Only the MI-1040, MI-1040CR, MI-1040CR-2 and MI-1040CR-7 forms may be filed alone. All other forms must be filed with a completed MI-1040. • Missing, incomplete, or applied for Social Security number. Include full Social Security number(s). If you don’t have an SSN or an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN), apply for one through the IRS. Do not file your Michigan return until you have received your SSN or ITIN. Special Situations Extensions To request more time to file your Michigan tax return, send a payment of your remaining estimated tax to Treasury with a copy of your federal extension (U.S. Form 4868) on or before the original due date of your return. Treasury will extend the due date to your new federal due date. If you do not have a federal extension, file an Application for Extension of Time to File Michigan Tax Returns (Form 4) with your payment. Treasury will not notify you of approval. An extension is not necessary when you expect to claim a refund. Late filing penalty may not apply as refunds can be claimed up to 4 years from the original due date without an extension. An extension of time to file is not an extension of time to pay. If you do not pay enough with your extension request, you must pay interest on the unpaid amount. Compute interest from the original due date of the return. Interest is 1 percent above the prime rate and is adjusted on July 1 and January 1. Visit www.michigan.gov/taxes for help calculating the penalty and interest. You may be charged a penalty of 10 percent or more if the balance due is not paid with your extension request. When you file your MI-1040, include on line 30 the amount of tax you paid with your extension request. Include a copy of your federal or state extension with your return. 2021 Estimated Payments Usually, you must make estimated income tax payments if you expect to owe more than $500 when you file your 2021 MI-1040. This is after crediting the property tax, farmland, any other refundable or nonrefundable credits, and amounts you paid through withholding. Common income sources which make estimated payments necessary are self-employment income; salary, wages or retirement benefits if you do not have enough tax withheld; tips, lump-sum payments, unemployment benefits, dividend and interest income; income from the sale of property (capital gains), business income and rental income. You may ask your employer to increase your withholding to cover the taxes on other types of income. Estimated payments are due April 15, 2021; June 15, 2021; September 15, 2021; and January 18, 2022. If you are a fiscal year filer, the due dates are the same as your federal estimated payment due dates. If you made estimated payments for 2020, Treasury will send you personalized vouchers for 2021, unless you used a tax preparer. Do not use vouchers intended for another taxpayer. If you do not receive personalized vouchers, use a tax preparer, or use tax preparation software to complete your return, you can obtain a Michigan Estimated Individual Income Tax Voucher (MI-1040ES) from Treasury’s Web site. 5

Exceptions. If you expect to owe more than $500, you may not have to make estimated payments if you expect your 2021 withholding to be at least: • 90 percent of your total 2021 tax, or • 100 percent of your total 2020 tax • 110 percent of your total 2020 tax if 2020 AGI was more than $150,000 if filing joint or single ($75,000 if your 2020 filing status is married filing separately). Total 2020 tax is the amount on your 2020 MI-1040, line 21, less the amount on lines 25, 26, 27b and 28. Farmers, fishermen or seafarers may have to make estimated payments, but have different filing options. If at least two-thirds of your gross income is from farming, fishing, or seafaring, you may: • Delay paying your first 2021 quarterly estimated payment until as late as January 18, 2022, and pay the entire amount of your 2021 estimated tax due, or • File your 2021 MI-1040 return and pay the entire amount of tax due on or before March 1, 2022. If you are a farmer or fisherman you will have filed a U.S. Schedule F, Schedule C, or Schedule E to report income from these activities. Wages earned as a farm employee or from a corporate farm do not qualify you for this exception. You are considered a seafarer if your wages are exempt from income tax withholding under Title 46, Shipping, USC, Sec. 11108. Failure to make payments or underpayment of estimated payments. If you fail to make required estimated payments, pay late, or underpay in any quarter, Treasury may charge penalty and interest. Penalty is 25 percent of the tax due (with a minimum of $25) for failing to make estimated payments or 10 percent (with a minimum of $10) for failing to pay enough estimated payments or making estimated payments late. Interest is one percent above the prime rate and is computed monthly. The rate is adjusted on July 1 and January 1. Residency Resident. You are a Michigan resident if Michigan is your permanent home. Your permanent home is the place you intend to return to whenever you go away. A temporary absence from Michigan, such as spending the winter in a southern state, does not make you a part-year resident. Income earned by a Michigan resident in a nonreciprocal state (see “Reciprocal States”) or Canadian province is taxed by Michigan, and may also be taxed by the other jurisdiction. If you pay tax to both, you can claim a credit on your Michigan return. See instructions for MI-1040, line 18 and the example on page 10. Part-year resident. You are a part-year resident if, during the year, you move your permanent home into or out of Michigan. You must pay Michigan income tax on income you earned, received, or accrued while living in Michigan. Use Michigan Nonresident and Part-Year Resident Schedule (Schedule NR) and the following guidelines to help figure your tax: • Allocate your income from the date you moved into or out of Michigan • Bonus pay, severance pay, deferred income, and any other amount accrued while a Michigan resident are subject to Michigan tax no matter where you lived when you received it • Deferred compensation reported to you on U.S. Form 1099-R and nonbusiness interest and dividend income are allocated to the state of residence when received • Part-year residents who lived in Michigan at least six months of the tax year may qualify for a homestead property tax credit (see page 29). NOTE: Out-of-state students who live in Michigan while they are attending school are not considered Michigan residents or part-year residents and should file as nonresidents. Nonresident. Use Schedule NR to figure your Michigan taxable income. You must pay Michigan income tax on the following types of income: • Salary, wages, and other employee compensation for work performed in Michigan, unless you live in a state covered by a reciprocal agreement (see “Reciprocal States”) • Net rents and royalties from real and tangible personal property in Michigan • Capital gains from the sale or exchange of real property located in Michigan, or of tangible personal property located in Michigan • Patent or copyright royalties if the patent or copyright is used in Michigan or if you have a commercial domicile in Michigan • Income (including dividend and interest income) from an S corporation, partnership or an unincorporated business, or other business activity in Michigan • Lottery winnings • Prizes won from casinos or licensed horse tracks located in Michigan. Nonresidents from reciprocal states must also declare these prizes as taxable. Reciprocal States Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin have reciprocal agreements with Michigan. Michigan residents pay only Michigan income tax on their salaries and wages earned in any of these states. A Michigan resident may file a withholding form with an employer in a reciprocal state to claim exemption from that state’s income tax withholding. The out-of-state income may make Michigan individual income tax estimated payments necessary. Residents of reciprocal states working in Michigan do not have to pay Michigan tax on salaries or wages earned in Michigan but do have to pay Michigan tax on business income earned from business activity in Michigan. A resident of a reciprocal state who claims a refund of Michigan withholding tax must file a Schedule NR along with an MI-1040. Deceased Taxpayers A personal representative for the estate of a taxpayer who died in 2020 (or 2021 before filing a 2020 return) must file if the taxpayer owes tax or is due a refund. A full-year exemption is allowed for a deceased taxpayer on the 2020 MI-1040. Use the decedent’s name and Social Security number and your address. If the taxpayer died after December 31, 2019, enter the date of death in the “Deceased Taxpayer” box on page 2 on the 2020 MI-1040. The surviving spouse is considered married for the year in which the deceased spouse died and may file a joint return for that year. Write your name and the decedent’s name and both Social Security numbers on the MI-1040. Write “DECD” after the decedent’s last name. You must report 6

the decedent’s income. Sign the return. In the deceased’s signature line, write “Filing as surviving spouse.” If the taxpayer died after December 31, 2019, enter the date of death in the “Deceased Taxpayer” box on page 2 of the MI-1040. Refer to example A in the “Deceased Taxpayer Chart of Examples” below. If filing as a personal representative or claimant and you are claiming a refund for a single deceased taxpayer, you must include a U.S. Form 1310 or Michigan Claim for Refund Due a Deceased Taxpayer (MI-1310). Enter the decedent’s name in the Filer’s Name lines and the representative’s or claimant’s name, title, and address in the Home Address line. Refer to example B or C in the “Deceased Taxpayer Chart of Examples” below. If filing as a personal representative or claimant of a deceased taxpayer(s) for a jointly filed return, you must include a U.S. Form 1310 or Michigan Claim for Refund Due a Deceased Taxpayer (MI-1310). Enter the name(s) of the deceased persons(s) in the Filer’s and/or Spouse’s Name lines and the representative’s or claimant’s name, title, and address in the Home Address line. Refer to example D or E in the “Deceased Taxpayer Chart of Examples” below. For information about filing a credit claim, see “Deceased Claimant’s Credit” on page 29. Amended Returns Beginning with tax year 2017, if you need to make a correction to your return, file a new complete MI-1040. Check the Amended Return box at the top of page 1 of the form, and file the Schedule AMD and all applicable schedules and supporting documentation to amend your return. If you are amending for tax year 2016 or prior, you must use Form MI-1040X-12. If you are due a refund on your amended return, you must file it within four years of the due date of the original return. Once you file a joint return, you cannot choose to file separate returns for that year after the due date of the return. If a change on your federal return affects Michigan taxable income, you must file an amended return within 120 days of the change. You must include a copy of your amended federal return and all supporting schedules. Include payment of any tax and interest due. To amend only a homestead property tax or home heating credit, file a new MI-1040CR, MI-1040CR-2, or MI-1040CR-7 respectively, for the appropriate year. Check the Amended Return box on the top of page 1 of each credit claim; do not file a new MI-1040 or Schedule AMD. If applicable, include a copy of your property tax statement(s), and/or lease agreement and a copy of your heat statement. Business Income (Loss) Michigan defines business income as all income (loss) arising from transactions, activities, and sources in the regular course of the taxpayer’s trade or business. Business income includes distributive share income (loss) reported on a federal Schedule K-1, including interest, dividend, royalty income, net short-term and long-term capital gains (losses) and depreciation to the extent included in AGI. Rental income may be business income if it is an integral part of the taxpayer’s trade or business. Business income is allocated to the state where the business activity occurs. If the business activity is in Michigan and in another state, use a Schedule of Apportionment (Form MI-1040H) to apportion the income. If you have income from more than one business, the income from each must be allocated or apportioned separately; this is done on separate schedules for each entity. Include all schedules with your return. Describe the business or property that is the source of the income (loss) and list the activity locations. For assistance, refer to the “Business, Rental & Royalty Activity Worksheet” available on Treasury’s Web site. For more information, refer to the “Business Income Reportable on MI-1040 or MI-1041” section of the individual income tax FAQs on our Web site at www.michigan.gov/taxes. Net Operating Losses (NOL) If you have a federal NOL deduction, remove the federal NOL deduction from Michigan taxable income, to the extent included in federal AGI. Residents claim the federal NOL deduction as an addition on Michigan Schedule 1, line 7. Part-year and nonresidents that are required to file a Michigan Schedule NR, allocate the entire federal NOL deduction, no matter where earned, to Column C. The Michigan NOL deduction in a carryforward year is claimed on Michigan Schedule 1, line 28. Deceased Taxpayer Chart of Examples A. Joint Filers with Surviving Spouse D.

The Michigan Net Operating Loss Schedule MI-1045 is used to calculate the Michigan NOL for the loss year. The form must be filed before a Michigan NOL carryover may be claimed. To request a refund from an NOL carryback use the Michigan Net Operating Loss Carryback Refund Request (Form 5603-CARES Act). A separate worksheet showing how the loss has been absorbed should always be submitted to substantiate the claimed carryforward. For assistance tracking an NOL, refer to the “Michigan NOL Carryover Worksheet” available on Treasury’s Web site. Repayments of Income Reported in a Prior Year If you had to repay money in 2020 that you claimed as income in a previous year (e.g., unemployment benefits), you may be entitled to a credit on your 2020 return for the tax paid in an earlier year. If you subtracted the repayment in arriving at AGI, no additional credit is allowed on the Michigan return because your income for the year has been reduced by the repayment amount. If the amount of the repayment was deducted on U.S. Schedule A or a credit was claimed on U.S. Form 1040, a credit will be allowed on the Michigan return. To compute your Michigan credit, multiply the amount you repaid in 2020 by the tax rate which was in effect the year you paid the tax. Then add the amount of the credit to the Michigan tax withheld on MI-1040, line 29. Write “Claim of Right/Repayment” next to line 29. Include a schedule showing the computation of the credit, proof of the repayment, U.S. Form 1040 and applicable federal schedules. Composite Filer Participants Taxpayers that participate on the Michigan Composite Individual Income Tax Return (Form 807) may be entitled to a credit on their MI-1040 for their share of the Michigan income tax liability paid on Form 807. Enter the amount of Michigan income tax paid on your behalf on MI-1040, line 29 and write “Composite Filing” next to line 29. Use Tax Every state that has a sales tax has a companion tax for purchases made outside that state by catalog, telephone, or Internet. In Michigan, that companion tax is called “use tax,” but might be described as a remote sales tax because it is a 6 percent tax owed on purchases made outside of Michigan. Use tax is due on catalog, telephone, or Internet purchases made from out-of-state sellers as well as purchases while traveling in foreign countries when the items are to be brought into Michigan. Use tax must be paid on the total price (including shipping and handling charges). Many Internet retailers charge tax on sales to Michigan residents. Taxpayers should review their records to determine if the retailer charged tax at the time of sale. If the Michigan tax was paid at 6 percent, no additional tax would be due. How to Report Use Tax Use Worksheet 1 to calculate your use tax and enter the amount of use tax due on MI-1040, line 23. Worksheet Calculation Line 1: For purchases of $0 to $1,000, multiply your total purchases times 6 percent (0.06) and enter the amount on Line 1, or, if you have incomplete or inaccurate receipts to calculate your purchases, you may use “Table 1 - Use Tax” to estimate your taxes (see the following example). Line 1 should contain a number unless you made no purchases under $1,000 subject to the use tax. Line 2: In all cases, if a single purchase is $1,000 or more and tax is not collected by the seller, you must pay 6 percent use tax on that purchase. Example: Ed ordered a computer from a catalog retailer in New York for $1,437.50. Ed also purchased items over the Internet for less than $1,000 during the year, but lost his receipts. He is sure he did not pay Michigan sales tax. Ed’s AGI is $46,500. Ed would complete Worksheet 1 as follows: Line 1: Ed selects $18 from Table 1 ................................... $18 Line 2: Ed enters $1,437.50 x 6 percent ........................ $86.25 Line 3: Total use tax due ............................................. $104.25 Ed would enter $104 (rounding down because the amount is 49 cents or less) on his MI-1040, line 23. Estimating your taxes does not preclude Treasury from auditing your account. If additional tax is due, you may receive an assessment for the amount of the tax owed, plus applicable penalty and interest. Use Tax on the Difference If you paid at least 6 percent to another state on your purchase, you do not owe use tax to Michigan. If you paid less than 6 percent, you owe the difference. NOTE: The full 6 percent use tax is also owed on purchases made in a foreign country. For more information, visit www.michigan.gov/taxes. 8

Line-by-Line Instructions for Individual Income Tax Return (MI-1040) Lines not listed are explained on the form. Amended Return box: If amending your 2020 return, check the box at the top of the form, include a completed Schedule AMD and supporting documentation. Line 1: Enter your name and address. Lines 2 and 3: Enter your full nine-digit Social Security number(s). Failure to provide a complete Social Security number may result in processing delays. Line 5: State Campaign Fund. These funds are only disbursed to candidates for governor, regardless of political party, who agree to limit campaign spending and meet the campaign fund requirements. Checking the box will not raise your tax or reduce your refund. Line 6: Farmers, fishermen, or seafarers may have to make estimated payments, and have different filing options. If at least two-thirds of your gross income is from farming, fishing, or seafaring, check this box. (For estimate filing information, see page 5.) Line 7: Filing Status. Check the box to identify your filing status. If you filed a joint federal return, you must also file a joint Michigan return. Married couples who file separate federal returns may file a separate or joint Michigan return. If your status is married filing separately (box c), enter your spouse’s full name in the space provided and enter his or her Social Security number on line 3. If you filed your federal return as head of household or qualifying widow(er), you must file your Michigan return as single. NOTE: If you are claiming a homestead property tax credit or home heating credit and you lived with your spouse, it may be easier to file a joint Michigan return because joint total household resources are the basis for computing these credits. Line 8: Residency. Check the box that describes your Michigan residency for 2020. If you and your spouse had a different residency status during the year, check a box for each of you. Both nonresidents and part-year residents must file Nonresident and Part-Year Resident Schedule (Schedule NR). For definition of residency, see page 6. Line 9: Exemptions. Use this line to compute your Michigan exemption amount plus your Michigan special exemptions. Line 9a: Enter the number of exemptions for you, your spouse (if filing jointly), and your dependents. Dependents include both qualifying children and qualifying relatives under the Internal Revenue Code. You may claim an exemption for these dependents even if your AGI exceeds the limits to claim federal tax credits for these dependents. Multiply the number of exemptions by your exemption allowance of $4,750 and enter that amount. Line 9b: Michigan Special Exemptions: Deaf, Blind, or Certain Disabilities. You qualify for this exemption if you are deaf, blind, hemiplegic, paraplegic, quadriplegic, or totally and permanently disabled. Complete this line, claiming only one exemption per person as it applies to you, your spouse and your dependents. If your dependent files a return, you or your dependent, but not both, may claim the dependent’s special exemption. • Deaf means the primary way you receive messages is through a sense other than hearing (e.g., lip reading or sign language). • Blind means your better eye permanently has 20/200 vision or less with corrective lenses, or your peripheral field of vision is 20 degrees or less. • Totally and permanently disabled means disabled as defined under Social Security Guidelines 42 USC 416. If you are age 66 or older, you may not claim an exemption as totally and permanently disabled. Line 9c: Qualified Disabled Veterans. A taxpayer may claim an exemption of $400 in addition to the taxpayer’s other exemptions if (a) the taxpayer or spouse is a qualified disabled veteran, or (b) a dependent of the taxpayer is a qualified disabled veteran. To be eligible for the additional exemption an individual must be a veteran of the active 9

military, naval, marine, coast guard, or air service who received an honorable or general discharge and has a disability incurred or aggravated in the line of duty as described in 38 USC 101(16). This additional exemption may not be claimed on more than one tax return. Line 9d: Stillbirth Exemption. If you are a parent of a stillborn delivered during 2020 and have been issued a Certificate of Stillbirth from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS), include a copy of the certificate with the MI-1040. If you do not have a certificate, contact MDHHS at 517-335-8666 for an application or information on obtaining the certificate. Line 9e: If someone else can claim you as a dependent, check the box, enter 0 on line 9a and enter $1,500 on line 9e. If your AGI is less than $1,500 and you had no Michigan income tax withheld from your wages, you do not need to file this form. Line 10: Adjusted Gross Income. Enter your AGI from your U.S. Form 1040, 1040NR or 1040SR. You must include copies of federal schedules that apply to you (see Table 3, page 59). For Michigan adjustments to AGI, see Schedule 1 on page 41. Instructions for completing Schedule 1 begin on page 12. Line 17: Tax. Multiply the amount on line 16 by 4.25 percent (0.0425). Line 18: Income Tax Imposed by Government Units Outside Michigan. Include the amount of income tax paid to: • A nonreciprocal state (see page 6) • A local government unit outside Michigan, including tax paid to local units located in reciprocal states • The District of Columbia • A Canadian province. Include only income tax paid to another government unit(s) on income earned while you were a Michigan resident and taxed by Michigan. For assistance with calculating this credit, go to www.michigan.gov/incometax. Include a copy of the return filed with the other government unit(s) with your MI-1040. If you do not include the return filed with the other government unit(s) when claiming this credit, processing of your return may be delayed or your credit may be denied. Do not include taxes paid on income you subtracted on lines 10 through 28 of Schedule 1 (e.g., rental or business income from another state, part-year resident wages). If you claim credit for Canadian provincial tax, you must file a Michigan Resident Credit for Tax Imposed by a Canadian Province (Form 777). Include copies of your Canadian Federal Individual Tax Return (Form T-1), Canadian Statement of Remuneration Paid (Form T-4), U.S. Form 1116, and U.S. Form 1040 and applicable federal schedules. Your credit is limited to the portion of your Canadian provincial tax not used as a credit on your U.S. Form 1040. The credit is not available for tax paid to other foreign countries. Line 18a: Enter the total income tax paid to other government units on income also taxed by Michigan. Include a schedule if tax was paid to more than one source. Also include a copy of the return(s). Line 18b: Credit amount. If more than one government unit is involved, compute the credit amount for each government unit separately. Then add the individual credit amounts and enter the total on line 18b. Compute your allowable credit as follows: Step 1: Divide your out-of-state income that is subject to tax in both states by your total income subject to Michigan tax (MI-1040, line 14); then Step 2: Multiply the amount of tax shown on MI-1040, line 17, by the resulting percentage. Your credit cannot exceed the smaller of: (1) the amount of tax imposed by another government; or (2) the amount of Michigan tax due on salaries, wages, and other personal compensation earned in another state. Example: Computing Michigan resident’s credit for tax imposed by another state. Hunter is a Michigan resident and has $40,000 of Michigan wages, $10,000 of wages earned in another state, and $3,000 in interest and dividends. Hunter’s federal AGI is $53,000. He has no Michigan adjustments (additions or subtractions) to AGI. After subtracting his $4,750 exemption from $53,000 income subject to tax, Hunter’s taxable income is $48,250 (MI-1040, line 16). This results in a tax of $2,051 ($48,250 x 0.0425) that is reported on MI-1040, line 17. The other state imposed $700 tax on the $10,000 Hunter earned in that state. To compute the credit, determine the following: Step 1: Calculate the percentage of out-of-state income to total income subject to Michigan tax ($10,000/$53,000) = 19% Step 2: Multiply Michigan tax of $2,051 x 19% = $390 Step 3: On MI-1040, line 18a, enter $700, the tax imposed by the other state. On MI-1040, line 18b, enter $390 (the credit is the lesser of $700 or $390). Line 19: Michigan Historic Preservation Tax Credit. Taxpayers eligible for this credit receive a certificate from the State Historic Preservation Office indicating their eligibility. To claim this credit you must submit all of the supporting documentation. For a list of supporting forms and schedules see the Form 3581 instructions. Line 19a: Enter the amount from your 2020 Form 3581, line 9. Line 19b: Enter the amount from your 2020 Form 3581, line 14. Line 20: Income Tax. Carry this amount to line 21. Line 22: Voluntary Contributions. Contributions can be made on the Voluntary Contribution Schedule (Form 4642). Include Form 4642 to ensure your contributions are applied to the fund(s) of your choice. Contributions will increase your tax due or reduce your refund. When filing an amended MI-1040, you cannot amend your voluntary contributions amount. You must enter the amount from your original return. Line 23: Use Tax. Enter use tax due from Worksheet 1, line 3, on page 9. When filing an amended MI-1040, you cannot amend your use tax amount. You must enter the amount from your original return. To amend your use tax, write a letter to Michigan Department of Treasury, Business Taxes Division, P.O. Box 30427, Lansing, MI 48909. Line 25: Property tax credit information begins on page 26. 10

Line 26: Farmland preservation credit applies to farmers only. See MI-1040CR-5 instructions for information. Line 27: Michigan Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). Taxpayers who are eligible to claim an EITC on their federal return may claim a Michigan EITC equal to 6 percent of the taxpayer’s federal credit. Enter your federal EITC amount on line 27a and 6 percent of line 27a on line 27b. Line 28: Michigan Historic Preservation Tax Credit. Enter the amount from your 2020 Historic Preservation Tax Credit (Form 3581), line 16a or 16b, whichever applies. Include a completed Form 3581 and U.S. Form 3581, if applicable. Line 29: Enter the total Michigan tax withheld (from your Schedule W). If applicable, include any credit for repayments under the “Claim of Right” and/or Michigan income tax paid on your behalf on a 2020 Form 807. See “Repayments of Income Reported in a Prior Year” and/or “Composite Filer Participants” on page 8. Line 30: Enter the total estimated tax paid with your 2020 MI-1040ES, the amount paid with a Form 4, and the amount of your 2019 credit forward (2019 MI-1040, line 35) to this year’s tax. Do not include a prior year’s refund amount. Line 31: This line is for amended returns only. If you checked box 31a to indicate you received a refund and/or credit forward from your original return, enter the refund amount received as a negative number. If you checked box 31b to indicate you paid with your original return, enter the amount of your payment as a positive number. Do not include any interest or penalty paid with your original return. When filing an amended return, you must include Schedule AMD. Example 1: Tina is amending her return. Tina received a $100 refund on her original return. Tina checks box 31a and enters the refund as a negative number. Tina reports -$100 on line 31c. Example 2: Tom is also amending his return. Tom paid a total of $275 with his original return; $250 was for tax due, $5 was for interest and $20 was for penalty. Tom checks box 31b and enters the amount paid as a positive number but does not include interest or penalty. Tom enters $250 on line 31c. Line 33: You Owe. If line 32 is less than line 24, enter the difference. This is the tax you owe with your return. If line 32 is negative, treat it as a positive amount and add it to the amount on line 24. Enter the result on line 33. Payments can now be made electronically. Go to www.michigan.gov/iit for more information. If the balance due is less than $1, no payment is required, but you must still file your return. See “Pay” address on page 2 of your MI-1040. If you pay after the due date of the return, penalty and interest for late payment is also due. Penalty accrues monthly at 5 percent of the tax due, and increases by an additional 5 percent per month, or fraction thereof, after the second month, up to a maximum of 25 percent of the tax due (e.g., penalty on a $500 tax due will be $125 if the tax is unpaid for six months). See “Penalty and Interest Added for Filing and Paying Late” on page 4. Add penalty and interest to your tax due and enter the total on line 33. Generally, if you owe more than $500, you are required to make estimated payments. Taxpayers required to make estimated payments may owe penalty and interest for underpayment, late payment, or for failing to make estimated tax payments. Use the Michigan Underpayment of Estimated Income Tax (Form MI-2210) to compute penalty and interest. If you do not file an MI-2210, Treasury will compute your penalty and interest and send you a bill. If you annualize your income, you must complete and include an MI-2210. Enter the penalty and interest amounts on the lines provided. Line 35: Credit Forward. Credit forward is only available on an original return and will not be accepted as a way to claim your overpayment on an amended return. Line 36: Refund. This includes any tax you overpaid and any credits you claimed. The state does not refund amounts less than $1. Mail your return to the “Refund, credit, or zero returns” address on page 2 of your MI-1040. Direct Deposit Direct Deposit is only available on an original return and may not be used to issue a refund on an amended return. Check with your financial institution to (1) make sure it will accept Direct Deposit, (2) obtain the correct Routing Transit Number (RTN) and account number, and (3) if applicable, verify that your financial institution will allow a joint refund to be deposited into an individual account. Direct Deposit requests associated with a foreign bank account are classified as International ACH Transactions (IAT). If your Direct Deposit is forwarded or transferred to a bank account in a foreign country, it will be returned to Treasury. If this occurs, your refund will be converted to a check and mailed to the address on your tax return. Contact your financial institution for questions regarding the status of your account. a. RTN. Enter the nine-digit RTN. The RTN is usually found between the symbols |: and |: on the bottom of your check. The first two digits must be 01 through 12 or 21 through 32. b. Account Number. Enter your financial institution account number up to 17 characters (both numbers and letters). The account number is usually found immediately to the right of the RTN on the bottom of your check. Include hyphens but omit spaces and special symbols. Do not include the check number. c. Type of Account. Check the box for checking or savings. When You Are Finished Sign Your Return: Each spouse must sign a joint return. If the return is completed by a tax preparer he or she must include the name, address, telephone number of the firm he or she represents, and preparer tax identification number or federal employer identification number. Check the box to indicate if Treasury may discuss your return with your preparer. The Taxpayer Protection Act requires paid preparers to sign the return and provide his or her preparer tax identification number. Additional information on the Taxpayer Protection Act is available at www.michigan.gov/taxes. 11

A paid preparer must not engage in any fraudulent tax activity. Any concerns related to fraudulent activity of a paid preparer may be reported to the Michigan Department of Treasury, Fraud Unit, P.O. Box 30140, Lansing, MI 48909. Any tax-related identity theft concerns, see page 4 of the MI-1040 booklet. Signing a child’s return: If a return is prepared for a child who is too young to sign it, a parent or guardian should sign the child’s name, then add “by (your name) parent (or guardian) for minor child.” Attachments: Include all your credit claims and required Michigan and federal schedules (see Table 3 on page 59). If you owe tax: Payments can be made using Michigan’s e-Payments service by direct debit (e-Check) from your checking or saving account, or by using a credit or debit card. Visit www.michigan.gov/iit to make your payment electronically. Payments can also be mailed. Make your check payable to “State of Michigan.” Print the last four digits of your Social Security number and “2020 income tax” on the front of your check. If paying on behalf of another taxpayer, write the filer’s name and the last four digits of the filer’s Social Security number on the check. Enclose your payment but do not staple it to the return. The filing deadline to receive a refund for tax year 2020 is April 15, 2025. Line-by-Line Instructions for Additions and Subtractions (Schedule 1) Nonresidents, and part-year residents, complete Schedule NR (see page 49) before proceeding. If you have income or losses attributable to other states, you must include all relevant federal schedules and supporting statements (see page 59). Include Schedule K-1s which support your federal Schedules B, D, E and 4797. The type, source and location of the income or loss must be identified. For assistance conveying this information to Treasury, refer to the “Business, Rental & Royalty Activity Worksheet” and the instructions available on Treasury’s Web site. If you do not include the federal schedules and supporting statements, processing of your return may be delayed or your credit/subtraction may be denied. Additions to Income Line 1: Residents enter nonbusiness gross interest, dividends, and income from obligations or securities of states and their political subdivisions other than Michigan. Residents and nonresidents report non-Michigan municipal business income from a partnership, S corporation, estate, or trust with Michigan business activity. Business income subject to apportionment must be included on the Michigan Schedule of Apportionment (MI-1040H). You may reduce this income by related expenses not allowed as a deduction by Section 265(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Line 2: Enter the deduction taken for self-employment tax on your federal return and for other taxes on or measured by income, such as your share of city income tax paid by partnerships or S corporations, or your share of the taxes paid by an estate or trust. Line 3: Use Michigan Adjustments of Capital Gains and Losses (MI-1040D) and related Michigan Sales and Other Dispositions of Capital Assets (MI-8949) only if you have capital gains or losses attributable to: (1) an election to use Section 271 treatment for property acquired before October 1, 1967; (2) the sale or exchange of U.S. obligations which cannot be taxed by Michigan; or (3) the sale or exchange of property located in other states. If you reported gains on U.S. Form 4797 on property acquired before October 1, 1967, or located in other states, adjust the gain on the Michigan Adjustments of Gains and Losses From Sales of Business Property (MI-4797). Enter gains from the Michigan column of MI-1040D, line 12, and MI-4797, line 18b. Instructions are with each form. Line 4: Enter losses from a business or property located in another state which you own as a sole proprietor, a partner in a partnership, a shareholder in an S corporation, or as a member of a pass-through entity. If your business is taxed by both Michigan and another state, the loss must be apportioned. You must include a Michigan Schedule of Apportionment (MI-1040H). Line 5: Enter the net loss from the federal column of your MI-1040D, line 13, or MI-4797, line 18b as a positive number. Line 6: Enter gross expenses from the production of oil and gas or extraction of nonferrous metallic minerals subject to Michigan severance tax to the extent deducted from AGI. Subtract the related gross income on line 19. Line 7: Residents, enter the amount of the federal NOL deduction to the extent included in AGI. Nonresidents and part-year residents see instructions for Schedule NR, line 11. Line 8: Enter the total of the following (include an additional schedule if necessary): • Add, to the extent not included in AGI, the amount of money withdrawn in the tax year from a Michigan Education Savings Program (MESP) account, including the Michigan 529 Advisor Plan (MAP), or a Michigan Achieving a Better Life Experience Program (ABLE) account, if the withdrawal was not a qualified withdrawal as provided in the MESP or ABLE Acts. You may first exclude any amount that represents a return of contributions for which no deduction was claimed in any prior tax year. • Refund received from a Michigan Education Trust (MET) contract. If you deducted the cost of a MET contract in previous years and received a refund from MET during 2020 because the MET contract was terminated, enter the smaller of: (1) the refund you received or (2) the amount of the original MET contract price including fees which you deducted in previous years. NOTE: Michigan treatment of bonus depreciation conforms with federal law. Adjustments for bonus depreciation are not required. 12

Subtractions From Income NOTE: Nonresidents and part-year residents, subtract only income attributable to Michigan (Schedule NR, column B) that is not included on line 13. Line 10: Enter income from U.S. government obligations (e.g., Series EE bonds, Treasury notes), including income from U.S. government obligations received through a partnership, S corporation, or other pass-through entity. This subtraction must be reduced by related expenses used to arrive at AGI. Investment companies that invest in U.S. obligations are permitted to pass the tax-free exemption to their shareholders. If income from U.S. government obligations exceeds $5,000, include a copy of your U.S. Schedule B and a supporting statement listing the amounts received, the source, and the issuing agency. Capital gains from the sale of U.S. government obligations must be adjusted on your MI-1040D. Line 11: Include military retirement benefits due to service in the U.S. Armed Forces or Michigan National Guard or taxable Tier 1 and Tier 2 railroad retirement benefits here and on Schedule W, Table 2. Other qualifying public or private retirement benefits must be reported on the Michigan Pension Schedule (Form 4884) and Schedule 1, line 25. Line 12: Enter the gains from the federal column of your MI-1040D, line 12, and MI-4797, line 18b. See instructions for Schedule 1, line 3. Line 13: Income Attributable to Another State. Nonresidents and part-year residents, complete Schedule NR. See instructions on page 50. Include federal schedules. Michigan residents cannot subtract salaries and wages or other compensation earned outside Michigan. However, they may be entitled to a tax credit for income tax imposed by government units outside Michigan (see page 10). Residents may subtract, to the extent included in AGI: • Net business income earned in other states, and • Net rents and royalties from real property or tangible personal property located or used in another state. Business income that is taxed by Michigan and another state must be apportioned, including interest, dividends and capital gains. You must include Form MI-1040H. Income reported on the MI-4797 and carried to the MI-1040D is business income, potentially subject to apportionment. Capital gains from the sale of real property or tangible personal property located outside of Michigan must be adjusted on the MI-1040D. Line 14: Compensation received for active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces included in AGI should be entered here and on Schedule W, Table 1. Enter only the taxable portion of Social Security and Military pay included on your U.S. Form 1040. Do not include total Social Security benefits or any Tier 1 and Tier 2 railroad retirement benefits. NOTE: Compensation from the U.S. Public Health Service, contracted employee pay and civilian pay are not considered military pay. Line 15: Renaissance Zone deduction. To be eligible you must meet all the following requirements: • Be a permanent resident of a Renaissance Zone designated prior to January 1, 2012, for at least 183 consecutive days • Be approved by your local assessor’s office • Not be delinquent for any State or local taxes abated by the Renaissance Zone Act • File an MI-1040 each year • Have gross income of $1 million or less. If you were a full-year resident of a Renaissance Zone, you may subtract all income earned or received. Unearned income, such as capital gains, may have to be prorated. If you lived in the Zone at least 183 consecutive days during 2020, subtract the portion of income earned while a resident of the Zone. If you are a part-year resident of a Zone, complete and include a Schedule NR with your MI-1040. (See “Note” on the bottom of the Schedule NR instructions, page 50.) Certain Renaissance Zones began to phase out in 2007. The tax exemption is reduced in increments of 25 percent during the Zone’s final three years of existence. If you are a resident of a Zone that is phasing out (check with your local unit of government), you must reduce your deduction as follows: • 25 percent for the tax year that is two years before the final year of designation as a Renaissance Zone • 50 percent for the tax year immediately preceding the final year of the designation as a Renaissance Zone • 75 percent for the tax year that is the final year of the designation as a Renaissance Zone. For additional information regarding qualifications for the Renaissance Zone deduction, contact your local assessor’s office. Line 16: Subtract Michigan state and city income tax refunds and homestead property tax credit refunds that were included in AGI. If you did not itemize on your federal return for tax year 2019, your 2019 refunds should not be included in your AGI and should not be subtracted here. Note to farmers: Subtract (to the extent included in AGI) the amount that your state or city income tax refund and homestead property tax credit exceeds the business portion of your homestead property tax credit. Line 17: Michigan Education Savings Program (MESP).

The deduction may not exceed $5,000 for a single return or $10,000 for a joint return per tax year. There are many 529 savings/investment programs nationwide, but Michigan only allows a tax deduction for contributions to the Michigan 529 programs: MESP, MAP and MET. Line 18: Michigan Education Trust (MET).

Non-Tax Agreement Tribes: If your tribe is not listed, your tribe does not have an active tax agreement with Michigan. Non-agreement members, see Revenue Administrative Bulletin 1988-47 for guidelines in determining exempt income that may be subtracted on line 20. NOTE: Michigan income earned while living outside of your Agreement Area (see your tribe’s agreement for a description of your Agreement Area) or Indian Country (as defined under 18 U.S.C. 1151 for Non-Agreement Tribes) may not be subtracted from Michigan AGI.

Lines 22C and 22G: Benefits From Employment with a Governmental Agency Not Covered by the Federal Social Security Act (SSA). SSA exempt employment is not covered by the federal SSA, which means the worker did not pay Social Security taxes and is not eligible for Social Security benefits based on that employment. Almost all employment is covered by the federal SSA. The most common instances of retirement and pension benefits from employment that is not covered by Social Security are police and firefighter retirees, some federal retirees covered under the Civil Service Retirement System and hired prior to 1984, and a small number of other state and local government retirees. Federal retirees hired since 1984 and those covered by the Federal Employees’ Retirement System are covered under the SSA. A recipient who qualifies under both of the following conditions is entitled to a greater retirement or pension deduction or Tier 2 Michigan Standard Deduction. • Born between January 1, 1946 and January 1, 1959, or is born after December 31, 1952 and retired as of January 1, 2013 and • Receives, or whose spouse receives, retirement or pension benefits from employment with a governmental agency that was not covered by the federal SSA.

If the older of you or your spouse (if married filing jointly) was born during the period January 1, 1946 through December 31, 1952, and reached the age of 67 before December 31, 2020, you are eligible for a deduction against all income and will no longer deduct retirement and pension benefits. The deduction is $20,000 for a return filed as single or married filing separately, or $40,000 for a married filing jointly return. If you checked either box 22C or 22G your standard deduction is increased by $15,000. If you checked both boxes 22C and 22G your standard deduction is increased by $30,000. The standard deduction is reduced by any amounts reported on line 11 and any military pay included on line 14. If you are a surviving spouse who has reached the age of 67, has not remarried, and claimed a subtraction for retirement and pension benefits on a return jointly filed with the decedent in the year they died, you are eligible for your standard deduction. However, you may elect to take the retirement and pension benefits subtraction based on your older deceased spouse’s year of birth subject to the limits available for a single filer. To elect the retirement and pension benefits subtraction instead of your standard deduction, see “Retirement Benefits Election for Tier 2 and Tier 3 Surviving Spouses” on page 18. You may also claim the Tier 2 Michigan Standard Deduction if the older of you or your spouse (if filing a joint return) was born during the period January 1, 1953 through January 1, 1954 and you or your spouse was retired as of January 1, 2013 and also received retirement benefits from SSA exempt employment. In most cases, taxpayers who are eligible to complete line 23 do not complete lines 24, 25 or 26. However, if a taxpayer is the unremarried surviving spouse of a decedent born prior to 1946 who also died after reaching age 65, check the box below line 26 to claim both the Tier 2 Michigan standard deduction on line 23 and a dividend/interest/capital gains deduction for investment income on line 26 (if applicable). Line 24: Tier 3 Michigan Standard Deduction. If the older of you or your spouse (if married filing jointly) was born during the period January 1, 1953 through January 1, 1954, and reached the age of 67 on or before December 31, 2020, you may deduct the personal exemption amount and taxable Social Security benefits, military compensation (including retirement benefits), Michigan National Guard retirement benefits and railroad retirement benefits included in adjusted gross income (AGI), or claim a deduction against all income, WORKSHEET 2: TIER 3 MICHIGAN STANDARD DEDUCTION Nonresidents and part-year residents, see instructions. 1.

This includes defined benefit pensions, IRA distributions, and most payments from defined contribution plans. Payments received before the recipient could retire under the provisions of the plan or benefits from 401(k), 457, or 403(b) plans attributable to employee contributions alone are not retirement and pension benefits under Michigan law, are taxable, and are subject to withholding.

For exceptions see “Retirement Benefits from a Deceased Spouse” on page 17. • Benefits paid to a senior citizen (age 65 or older) from a retirement annuity policy that are paid for life (as opposed to a specified number of years) • Foreign retirement and pension benefits that meet Michigan’s qualifications may also be eligible. contribution and benefit amounts in advance Qualifying public benefits include distributions from • Qualified retirement plans for the self-employed the following sources: • Retirement distributions from a 401(k) or 403(b) plan • The State of Michigan attributable to employer contributions or attributable to • Michigan local governmental units (e.g., Michigan employee contributions that result in additional employer counties, cities, and school districts) contributions (e.g., matching contributions) • Federal civil service. 16

Retirement and pension benefits that are transferred from one plan to another (rolled over) continue to be treated as if they remained in the original plan. For public and private retirement or pension benefits, you may not subtract (do not include on Form 4884): • Amounts received from a deferred compensation plan that lets the employee set the amount to be put aside and does not set retirement age or requirements for years of service. These plans include, but are not limited to, plans under Sections 401(k), 457, and 403(b) of the IRC • Amounts received before the recipient could retire under the plan provisions, including amounts paid on separation, withdrawal, or discontinuance of the plan • Amounts received as early retirement incentives, unless the incentives were paid from a pension trust. Which Benefits are Taxable Retirement and pension benefits are taxed differently depending on the age of the recipient. Married couples filing a joint return should complete Form 4884 based on the year of birth of the older spouse. Military and Michigan National Guard pensions, railroad retirement benefits and Social Security benefits are exempt from tax and should be reported on the Schedule 1, line 11 or line 14. Who May Claim a Pension Subtraction Tier 1 • Recipients born before 1946 may subtract all qualifying retirement and pension benefits received from federal or Michigan public sources, and may subtract qualifying private retirement and pension benefits up to $53,759 if single or married filing separate, or $107,517 if married filing a joint return. If your public retirement benefits are greater than the maximum amount, you are not entitled to claim an additional subtraction for private pensions. NOTE: In addition to the public retirement benefits listed above, the private pension limits are also reduced by the following from Schedule 1, line 11: • Military retirement from the U.S. Armed Forces • Retirement from the Michigan National Guard • Railroad retirement. Tier 2 • Recipients born during the period January 1, 1946 through December 31, 1952, do not complete Form 4884. See the Tier 2 Michigan Standard Deduction on Schedule 1, line 23. Exception: If you are a surviving spouse who has reached the age of 67, has not remarried, and claimed a subtraction for retirement and pension benefits on a return jointly filed with the decedent in the year they died, you may elect to the take the retirement and pension benefits subtraction based on the older deceased spouse’s year of birth subject to the limits available for a single filer instead of your standard deduction. Tier 3 • Recipients born during the period January 1, 1953 through January 1, 1954, do not complete Form 4884. See the Tier 3 Michigan Standard Deduction on Schedule 1, line 24. Exception: If you are a surviving spouse who has reached the age of 67, has not remarried, and claimed a subtraction for retirement and pension benefits on a return jointly filed with the decedent in the year they died, you may elect to the take the retirement and pension benefits subtraction based on the older deceased spouse’s year of birth subject to the limits available for a single filer instead of your standard deduction. • Recipients born after January 1, 1954 but before January 2, 1959 who have reached age 62 and receive retirement benefits from employment exempt from Social Security may deduct up to $15,000 in qualifying retirement and pension benefits. If both spouses on a joint return receive Social Security exempt retirement benefits, the maximum deduction increases to $30,000. See Form 4884, line 29 instructions for more information. • Recipients born after January 1, 1954, received retirement benefits from SSA exempt employment, and were retired as of January 1, 2013 may deduct up to $35,000 in qualifying retirement and pension benefits if single or married filing separately or $55,000 if married filing a joint return.

For help calculating the retirement and pension subtraction, see “Which Section of Form 4884 Should I Complete?” on page 19. Retirement Benefits from a Deceased Spouse Retirement benefits received as a survivor generally have a distribution code of 4 on the federal Form 1099-R. The 1099-R reports retirement benefits to the Internal Revenue Service and it is sent by the pension administrator paying the benefits. Calculate the amount of deductible retirement benefits received as a survivor of a deceased spouse based on the birth year of the deceased spouse and the filing status of the surviving spouse. If the surviving spouse was born during the period January 1, 1946 through January 1, 1954 and has reached the age of 67, typically the retirement and pension benefits subtraction cannot be claimed on Form 4884 because the surviving spouse would claim a standard deduction on the Schedule 1. Except, the surviving spouse may elect to continue to claim the retirement and pension benefits subtraction on Form 4884 if the surviving spouse was born during the period January 1, 1946 through January 1, 1954 and has reached the age of 67, has not remarried, and claimed a subtraction for retirement and pension benefits on a return jointly filed with the decedent in the year they died. Refer to the following section “Retirement Benefits Election for Tier 2 and Tier 3 Surviving Spouses” for further instruction. Example 1: Amarried filer who receives retirement benefits as the surviving spouse of a decedent born in 1942 (Tier 1) would be able to subtract all public retirement benefits received from the deceased spouse and private retirement benefits received up to $107,517, reduced by any public benefits received from the deceased spouse. Generally, any retirement benefits deducted as a survivor reduce the amount of other retirement benefits that may be deducted. 17

Example 2: A single filer who receives retirement benefits as the surviving spouse of a decedent born in 1952 (Tier 2) would be able to subtract up to $20,000 in qualified retirement benefits received from the deceased spouse. NOTE for Tier 3 filers: Filers born after January 1, 1954 receiving survivor benefits from a deceased spouse born in Tier 1 complete Section B of Form 4884. Filers born after January 1, 1954 receiving survivor benefits from a deceased spouse born in Tier 2 complete Section C of Form 4884. Filers born after January 1, 1954 and receiving SSA exempt survivor benefits from a deceased spouse in Tier 3 complete “Which Section of Form 4884 Should I Complete?” on page 19.

Were benefits from SSA exempt employment received by a filer or spouse (if married filing jointly), and either filer or spouse has reached age 62? Yes: Complete Section D of Form 4884. No: You are not eligible for a retirement or pension benefits subtraction. Do not file Form 4884. Line 8F: Include the taxable amount of retirement or pension reported in federal AGI. Use these amounts when completing the applicable section in Part 3. If you are a part-year resident only use the portion from the Michigan Schedule NR, line 10 column B. 19

Line 9: If you or your spouse reported any retirement and pension benefits from service in the U.S. Armed Forces, the Michigan National Guard or any taxable railroad retirement benefits reported on Schedule 1, line 11, these amounts should be subtracted from the allowable private pension deduction limits. For purposes of this line, single limits apply to taxpayers who are married filing separately. Amounts deducted on Schedule 1, line 11, are not deducted again on Form 4884, and are only used to reduce the allowable deduction for private retirement and pension benefits. For example, if a joint filer born in 1945 received $30,000 in retirement benefits from service in the U.S. Armed Forces the allowable private deduction limit reported on line 9 would be $107,517 - $30,000 = $77,517. Line 13: If you checked either box 22C or 22G from Schedule 1, your maximum is increased by $15,000.

Line 23: Enter total filer and spouse qualified retirement and pension benefits. Do not include benefits received from a deceased spouse (who died prior to 2020). Line 24: For surviving spouses who have not remarried since the death of their spouse: • Enter the amount from line 17 For surviving spouses who have remarried since the death of their spouse: • If the older of you or your spouse were born after January 1, 1954 but before January 2, 1959 and checked box 22C or 22G on Schedule 1, enter $15,000. If both spouses on a joint return checked boxes 22C and 22G on Schedule 1, enter $30,000. • If the older of you or your spouse were born after January 1, 1954, were retired as of January 1, 2013 and checked box 22C or 22G on Schedule 1, enter $35,000 if married filing separately or $55,000 if married filing a joint return.

Do not complete Section A, Section C or Section D. Line 28: Taxpayers born after January 1, 1954, that are receiving benefits from a deceased spouse who was born during the period January 1, 1946 through December 31, 1952 should use Section C to calculate the deduction for retirement and pension benefits. If you checked either box 22C or 22G from Schedule 1, the maximum is increased by $15,000. If you checked both boxes 22C and 22G the maximum is increased by $30,000. Taxpayers born after January 1, 1954, that were retired as of January 1, 2013 and received retirement benefits from SSA exempt employment should use Section C to calculate the deduction for retirement and pension benefits. These taxpayers may deduct up to $35,000 in qualifying retirement and pension benefits if single or married filing separately or $55,000 if married filing a joint return. If both spouses on a joint return qualify, the maximum deduction increases to $70,000. If you have taxable railroad retirement benefits or qualifying retirement and pension benefits from service in the U.S. Armed Forces or Michigan National Guard that was deducted on Schedule 1, line 11, use Worksheet 3 to determine your allowable subtraction. Carry this amount to Schedule 1, line 25. Do not complete Section A, Section B, or Section D. Line 29: If you checked box 22C or 22G on Schedule 1 and the older of you or your spouse was born after January 1, 1954 but before January 2, 1959, enter all qualifying retirement and pension benefits you received, up to $15,000. If you are receiving benefits as a surviving spouse, do not use your deceased spouse’s year of birth. If both boxes 22C and 22G on Schedule 1 were checked on a joint return, the maximum deduction is $30,000. Recipients who deduct taxable railroad retirement benefits or military retirement benefits due to service in the U.S. Armed Forces or Michigan National Guard on Schedule 1, line 11 may have lower deduction limits on this line if the Schedule 1, line 11 totals more than $38,759.

On the return jointly filed with Bob in the year he died, they claimed a subtraction for retirement and pension benefits. For tax year 2020, Mary continues to receive her public pension of $46,000 and is also receiving surviving spouse benefits from Bob’s private pension of $7,000. As Mary has not remarried since Bob’s death, she follows the instructions under “Retirement Benefits Election for Tier 2 and Tier 3 Surviving Spouses” on page 18 to determine if she will claim the standard deduction allowed by her year of birth or the retirement and pension benefits subtraction allowed by her deceased spouse’s year of birth.

Who May Claim a Property Tax Credit You may claim a property tax credit if all of the following apply: • Your homestead is located in Michigan • You were a Michigan resident at least six months of 2020 • You own your Michigan homestead and property taxes were levied in 2020, or you paid rent under a rental contract. You can have only one homestead at a time, and you must be the occupant as well as the owner or renter. Your homestead can be a rented apartment or a mobile home on a lot in a mobile home park. A vacation home or income property is not considered your homestead. Your homestead is in your state of domicile. Domicile is the place where you have your permanent home. It is the place to which you plan to return whenever you go away. College students and others whose permanent homes are not in Michigan are not Michigan residents. Domicile continues until you establish a new permanent home. Property tax credit claims may not be submitted on behalf of minor children. Filers claimed as a dependent on someone else’s return see instructions for line 24 on page 32 to correctly report support received. You may not claim a property tax credit if your total household resources are over $60,000. In addition, you may not claim a property tax credit if your taxable value exceeds $135,000 (excluding vacant farmland classified as agricultural). The computed credit is reduced by 10 percent for every $1,000 (or part of $1,000) that total household resources exceed $51,000. If filing a part-year return, you must annualize total household resources to determine if the income limitation applies. See “Annualizing Total Household Resources” on page 29. Which Form to File Most filers should use the MI-1040CR in this booklet. If you are blind and own your homestead, are in the active military, are an eligible veteran, or an eligible veteran’s surviving spouse, complete forms MI-1040CR and MI-1040CR-2 (available on Treasury’s Web site.) Use the form that gives you a larger credit. If you are blind and rent your homestead, you cannot use the MI-1040CR-2. Claim your credit on the MI-1040CR and check box 5b if you are age 65 or younger. Check boxes 5a and 5b if you are blind and age 65 or older. 26

When to File If you are not required to file an MI-1040, you may file your credit claim as soon as you know your 2020 total household resources and property taxes levied in 2020. If you file a Michigan income tax return, your credit claim should be included with your MI-1040 return and filed by April 15, 2021 to be considered timely. To avoid penalty and interest, if you owe tax, postmark your return no later than April 15, 2021. The filing deadline to receive a 2020 property tax credit is April 15, 2025. Amending Your Credit Claim File a new claim form and check the Amended Return box at the top of page 1 of the form. If applicable, include a copy of your property tax statement(s) and/or lease agreement. You must file within four years of the date set for filing your original income tax return. Delaying Payment of Your Property Taxes Senior citizens, disabled people, veterans, surviving spouses of veterans, and farmers may be able to delay paying property taxes. Contact your local or county treasurer for more information. Total Household Resources Total household resources are the total income (taxable and nontaxable) of both spouses or of a single person maintaining a household. They are AGI, excluding net business and farm losses, net rent and royalty losses, and any carryover of a net operating loss, plus all income exempt or excluded from AGI. Total household resources include the following items not listed on the form: • Capital gains on the sale of your residence regardless if the gains are exempt from federal income tax • Compensation for damages to character or for personal injury or sickness • An inheritance (except an inheritance from your spouse) • Proceeds of a life insurance policy paid on the death of the insured (except benefits from a policy on your spouse) • Death benefits paid by or on behalf of an employer • Minister’s housing allowance • Forgiveness of debt, even if excluded from AGI (e.g., mortgage foreclosure) • Reimbursement from dependent care and/or medical care spending accounts • Scholarships, stipends, grants, and payments, except government payments, made directly to third parties such as an educational institution or subsidized housing project • Forgiven Paycheck Protection Program loans, include the amount of the forgiven loan reduced by business expenses related to payroll, rent and utilities that were not deducted in determining AGI. Total household resources do NOT include: • Net operating loss deductions taken on your federal return • Payments received by participants in the foster grandparent or senior companion program • Energy assistance grants • Government payments made directly to a third party (e.g., payments to a doctor, GI Bill benefits, payments from a PELL grant and the 2020 MSHDA Eviction Diversion Program (EDP) to the extent not included in AGI). NOTE: If payment is made from money withheld from your benefit, the payment is part of total household resources. (For example, the MDHHS may pay your rent directly to the landlord.) • Money received from a government unit to repair or improve your homestead • Surplus food or food assistance program benefits • State and city income tax refunds and homestead property tax credits • Chore service payments (these payments are income to the provider of the service) • The first $300 from gambling, bingo, lottery, awards, or prizes • The first $300 in gifts of cash or merchandise received, or expenses paid on your behalf (rent, taxes, utilities, food, medical care, etc.) by parents, relatives, or friends • Amounts deducted from Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits for Medicare premiums • Life, health, and accident insurance premiums paid by your employer • Loan proceeds • Inheritance from a spouse • Life insurance benefits from a spouse • Payments from a long-term care policy made to a nursing home or other care facility • Most payments from The Step Forward Michigan program. • Compensation for wrongful imprisonment • Economic Impact Payments Visit www.michigan.gov/taxtotalhouseholdresources for more information on total household resources. Special Provisions for Farmers If you received a farmland preservation tax credit in 2020, you must include it in total household resources. You may subtract the business portion of your homestead property tax credit if you included it in taxable farm income. A homestead property tax credit is allowed only if the gross receipts from farming exceed total household resources. Property Taxes Eligible for Credit Ad valorem property taxes that were levied on your homestead in 2020, including administrative collection fees up to 1 percent of the taxes, can be claimed no matter when you pay them. You may add to your 2020 taxes the amount of property taxes billed in 2020 from a corrected or supplemental tax bill. You must deduct from your 2020 property taxes any refund of property taxes received in 2020 that was a result of a corrected tax bill from a previous year. Do not include: • Delinquent property taxes (e.g., 2019 property taxes paid in 2020) • Penalty and interest on late payments of property tax • Delinquent water or sewer bills • Property taxes on cottages or second homes • Association dues on your property 27

• Most special assessments for drains, sewers, and roads do not meet specific tests and may not be included. You may include special assessments only if they are levied using a uniform millage rate, are based on taxable value, and are either levied in the entire taxing jurisdiction or they are used to provide police, fire, or advanced life support services and are levied township-wide, except for all or a portion of a village. NOTE: School operating taxes are generally only levied on the non-homestead portion of the property and may not be included in taxes levied when computing the property tax credit on any portion of the home not used as your homestead. Home used for business. If you use part of your home for business, you may claim the property taxes on the living area of your homestead, but not the property taxes on the portion used for business. Include a copy of U.S. Form 8829 with your Michigan return. Owner-occupied duplexes. When both units are equal, you are limited to 50 percent of the tax on both units, after subtracting the school operating taxes from the total taxes billed. Owner-occupied income property. Apartment building and duplex owners who live in one of the units or single family homeowners who rent a room(s) to a tenant(s) must complete two calculations to figure the tax they can claim and base their credit on the lower amount. First, subtract 23 percent of the rent collected from the tax claimed for credit. Second, reduce the tax claimed for credit by the amount of tax claimed as rental expense on your U.S. Form 1040, Schedule 1. Include a copy of the U.S. Schedule E with your Michigan return. Example: Your home has an upstairs apartment that is rented to a tenant for $395 per month. Total property taxes on your home are $2,150. Of this amount, $858 is claimed as rental expense. The calculations are as follows: Step 1: $395 x 12 = $4,740 annual rent $4,740 x 0.23 = $1,090 taxes attributable to the apartment $2,150 total taxes - $1,090 = $1,060 taxes attributable to owner’s homestead Step 2: $2,150 total taxes - $858 taxes claimed as a business deduction = $1,292 taxes attributable to homestead Step 3: The owner’s taxes that can be claimed for credit are $1,060, the smaller of the two computations. Farmers. Include farmland taxes in your property tax credit claim if any of the following conditions apply: • If your gross receipts from farming are greater than your household income, you may claim all of your taxes on unoccupied farmland classified as agricultural. Do not include taxes on farmland that is not adjacent or contiguous to your home and that you rent or lease to another person. • If gross receipts from farming are less than your household income and you have lived in your home more than ten years, you may claim the taxes on your home and the farmland adjacent and contiguous to your home. • If gross receipts from farming are less than your household income and you have lived in your home less than ten years, you may claim the taxes on your home and five acres of farmland adjacent and contiguous to your home. You may not claim rent paid for vacant farmland when computing your property tax credit claim. Farmland owned by a business entity may not be claimed for a homestead property tax credit by one of the individual members. Include any farmland preservation tax credit in your total household resources. Enter the amount of credit you received in 2020 on line 20 or include it in net farm income on line 16. Homestead property tax credits are not included in total household resources. If you included this amount in your taxable farm income, subtract it from total household resources. Rent Eligible for Credit You must be under a lease or rental contract to claim rent for credit. In most cases, 23 percent of rent paid is considered property tax that can be claimed for credit. The following are exceptions: • If you rent or lease housing subject to a service charge or fees paid instead of property taxes, you may claim a credit based upon 10 percent of the gross rent you paid. Enter this amount on line 55 and 10 percent of rent paid on line 56, and follow instructions. • If your housing is exempt from property tax and no service fee is paid, you are not eligible for a credit. This includes university- or college-owned housing. • If your housing costs are subsidized, base your claim on the amount you pay. Do not include the federal subsidy amount. • If you are a mobile home park resident, claim the $3 per month specific tax on line 10, and the balance of rent paid on line 11. • If you are a cooperative housing corporation resident member, claim your share of the property taxes on the building. If you live in a cooperative where residents pay rent on the land under the building, you may also claim 23 percent of that land rent. NOTE: Do not take 23 percent of your total monthly payment. • If you are a resident of a special housing facility (not noted above), base your claim on rent only. Do not include other services. If you pay rent with other services and you are unable to determine the portion that constitutes rent only, you may determine your portion of the property taxes that can be claimed for credit based on square footage, or, divide the taxes by the number of residents for whom the home is licensed to care. This information may be obtained from your housing facility. Visit www.michigan.gov/iit for more information about claimants living in special housing facilities. Example: You pay $750 per month for room and board. You occupy 600 square feet of a 62,000 square foot apartment building. The landlord pays $54,000 in taxes per year. Step 1: 600/62,000 = 0.0097 Step 2: $54,000 x 0.0097 = $524 taxes you can claim for credit Home used for business. If you use part of your apartment or rented home for business, you may claim the rent on the living area of your homestead, but not the rent on the portion used for business. 28

If You Moved in 2020 Residents who temporarily lived outside Michigan may qualify for a credit if Michigan remained their state of domicile. Personal belongings and furnishings must have remained in the Michigan homestead and the homestead must not have been rented or sublet during the temporary absence. (See the definitions of resident on page 6 and domicile on page 26.) If you bought or sold your home or moved during 2020, you must prorate your taxes. Complete MI-1040CR, Part 3, to determine the taxes that can be claimed for credit. Use only the taxes levied in 2020 on each Michigan homestead, then prorate taxes based on days of occupancy. Do not include taxes on out-of-state property. Do not include property taxes for property with a taxable value greater than $135,000. Excluded from this restriction is unoccupied farmland classified as agricultural by your assessor. Part-Year Residents If you lived in Michigan at least six months during the year, you may be entitled to a partial credit. If you are a part-year resident, you must include all income received as a Michigan resident in total household resources (line 33). Complete MI-1040CR, Part 3, to determine the taxes eligible to be claimed for credit on your Michigan homestead. Deceased Claimant’s Credit The estate of a taxpayer who died in 2020 (or 2021 before filing a claim) may be entitled to a credit for 2020. The surviving spouse, other authorized claimant, or personal representative can claim this credit. Use the decedent’s name and Social Security number and the personal representative’s address. If the taxpayer died after December 31, 2019, enter the date of death in the “Deceased Taxpayer” box on page 3. The surviving spouse is considered married for the year in which the deceased spouse died and may file a joint credit for that year. Enter both names and Social Security numbers on the form, and write “DECD” after the decedent’s name. Sign the return and write “filing as surviving spouse” in the deceased’s signature line. Enter the date of death in the “Deceased Taxpayer” box on the bottom of page 3. Include the decedent’s income in total household resources. If filing as a personal representative or claimant for the refund of a single deceased taxpayer, you must include a U.S. Form 1310 or Michigan Claim for Refund Due a Deceased Taxpayer (MI-1310). Enter the decedent’s name in the Filer’s Name line and the representative’s or claimant’s name, title and address in the Home Address line. See the “Deceased Taxpayer Chart of Examples” on page 7. A claimant must prorate to the date of death as noted in the following paragraph. The personal representative or claimant claiming a credit for a single deceased person or on a jointly filed credit if both filers became deceased during the 2020 tax year, must prorate taxes to the date of death. Complete lines 47 through 51 to prorate the property taxes. Annualize total household resources (see instructions in the next section). Include a copy of the tax bills or lease agreements. If filing as a personal representative or claimant of deceased taxpayers for a jointly filed return, you must include a U.S. Form 1310 or Michigan Claim for Refund Due a Deceased Taxpayer (MI-1310). Enter the name(s) of the deceased person(s) in the Filer’s and/or Spouse’s Name lines and the representative’s or claimant’s name, title, and address in the Home Address line. See “Deceased Taxpayer Chart of Examples” on page 7. Annualizing Total Household Resources If you are filing a part-year credit (for a deceased taxpayer or a part-year resident), you must annualize the total household resources to determine if the credit reduction applies. (Exception: the surviving spouse filing a joint claim does not have to annualize the deceased spouse’s income.) • If you have checked a box on line 5 and your annualized total household resources are less than $6,000 use your annualized total household resources to determine your percentage of taxes not refundable from MI-1040CR Table 2 on page 33. • A senior, age 65 or older, filing a part-year credit must calculate annualized total household resources before using MI-1040CR Table A on page 33. • If the annualized income is more than $51,000 for any claimant, use annualized total household resources to determine the percentage allowable in MI-1040CR Table B on page 33. To annualize total household resources, which projects what it would have been for a full year: Step 1: Divide 366 by the number of days the taxpayer was a Michigan resident in 2020. Step 2: Multiply the answer from step 1 by the taxpayer’s total household resources (MI-1040CR, line 33). The result is the annualized total household resources. Maximum Credit Limit for Deceased Taxpayers and Part-Year Residents For most claimants, the maximum credit limit is $1,500. But, if you are filing a part-year credit (for a deceased taxpayer or part-year resident), the maximum credit of $1,500 shall be reduced proportionately based on days of occupancy. To reduce the maximum credit limit of $1,500 proportionately based on days of occupancy: Step 1: Divide the number of days of occupancy the taxpayer was a Michigan resident in 2020 by 366 days. Step 2: Multiply $1,500 by the result from Step 1. The result is the maximum credit. Example 1 (part-year resident): John was a renter and Michigan resident until August 31. Using John’s total household resources and 8 months of rent his credit computes to $500. Step 1: Divide 244 days by 366 days: 244 / 366 = 67% Step 2: $1,500 x 67% = $1,005 maximum credit. John is entitled to a $500 credit as his computed amount is less than his maximum credit. John enters $500 on line 44. Example 2 (deceased taxpayer): Jane was a senior citizen who passed away on May 15th and paid rent. Using Jane’s total household resources and 5 months of rent, her credit computes to $250; however, Jane 29

qualifies to compute the Alternate Property Tax Credit for Renters Age 65 or Older. Using the Alternate Property Tax Credit for Renters Age 65 or Older, the credit computes to $620. Step 1: Divide 136 days by 366 days: 136 / 366 = 37% Step 2: $1,500 x 37% = $555 maximum credit. Jane’s $620 computed credit exceeds her maximum credit at $555, therefore $555 is entered on line 44. Married During 2020 If you married during 2020, combine each spouse’s share of taxes or rent for the period of time you or your spouse lived in separate homesteads prior to getting married. Then add this to the prorated taxes or rent for your marital home after your marriage. You are only allowed to claim rent and taxes on homesteads located in Michigan. Filing a Joint Return and Maintaining Separate Homesteads Your claim must be based on the tax or rent paid on only one home during a 12 month period. The total household resources must be the combined income of both you and your spouse for the entire year. Married Filing Separately and Divorced or Separated Claimants Schedule (Form 5049) This form can be found at www.michigan.gov/taxes. Submit Form 5049 with Form MI-1040CR, MI-1040CR-2 or MI-1040CR-7 if any of the following situations apply to you: • You filed as married filing separately, and you and your spouse maintained separate homesteads all year. Complete only Part 3 of Form 5049. • You filed as married filing separately, and you shared a homestead with your spouse all year. • You filed as married filing separately, and you and your spouse maintained separate homesteads at the end of the year. Filing Separate State Returns and Maintaining Separate Homesteads Spouses who file separate Michigan income tax returns and did not share a household during the tax year may each claim a credit. Each credit is based on the individual taxes or rent and individual total household resources for each person. This only applies to homes located in Michigan. They each must complete Form 5049 and provide an explanation in Part 3. Married Filing Separately and Shared a Homestead Spouses who file separate Michigan income tax returns but shared a homestead for the entire year are entitled to one property tax credit. The credit claim must be based on the total household resources of both spouses during the time the homestead was shared. A spouse claiming the credit must complete Form 5049 and include the total household resources for both spouses. A spouse filing the credit should also include the other spouse’s income on the Other Nontaxable Income line of the Homestead Property Tax Credit Claim. You and your spouse may choose how you want to divide the credit. If each spouse claims a portion of the credit, include a copy of the claim showing each spouse’s share of the credit with each income tax return. Enter only your portion of the credit on your MI-1040CR, line 44. Separated or Divorced in 2020 Figure your credit based on the taxes you paid together before your separation plus the taxes you paid individually after your separation. Complete and include Form 5049 and include a schedule showing your computation. For more information or to help you calculate a prorated share of taxes, see Michigan Homestead Property Tax Credits for Separated or Divorced Taxpayers (Form 2105). Example: Karl and Cathy separated on October 2, 2020. The annual taxes on the home they owned were $1,860. Cathy continued to live in the home and Karl moved to an apartment on October 2 and paid $350 per month rent for the rest of the year. Cathy earned $20,000 and Karl earned $25,000. They lived together for 275 days. Step 1: Calculate the prorated total household resources for each spouse for the 275 days they lived together. Divide each spouse’s total household resources by 366 days, then multiply that figure by 275. Cathy ($20,000/366) x 275 = $15,027 Karl ($25,000/366) x 275 = $18,784 Cathy and Karl must each complete Form 5049 and list income earned during the period they lived together. Step 2: Add both prorated total household resources together to determine the total for the time they lived together. $15,027 + $18,784 = $33,811 Step 3: Divide each individual’s prorated share of total household resources by the total from Step 2 to determine the percentage attributable to each. Cathy $15,027/$33,811 = 44% Karl $18,784/$33,811 = 56% Step 4: Calculate the prorated taxes eligible for credit for the time they lived together. Divide the $1,860 by 366 days, then multiply by 275 days. ($1,860/366) x 275 = $1,398 Step 5: Calculate each individual’s share of the prorated taxes. Multiply the $1,398 by the percentages determined in Step 3. Cathy $1,398 x 44% = $615 Karl $1,398 x 56% = $783 Enter these amounts on MI-1040CR, line 50, column B. Cathy uses lines 47 through 50, column A, to compute her share of taxes for the remaining 91 days. Karl uses lines 52 and 53 to compute his share of rent. Each completes the remaining lines of MI-1040CR according to the form instructions. Residents of Adult Care Homes Including Assisted Living Facilities If you are a resident of a nursing home, adult foster care home, or home for the aged; including assisted living facilities, that facility is considered your homestead. If the facility provides an itemized statement that separates rent from other services, base your credit on rent. If the facility does not provide an itemized statement and pays local 30

property taxes (many do not), you may claim your portion of those taxes for credit. Ask the facility manager for your share of the taxes. If you wish to determine your share of the taxes yourself: • For a licensed facility, divide the amount of property taxes levied in 2020 by the number of residents for which the facility is licensed. • For an unlicensed facility, divide the square footage the claimant occupies by the square footage of the facility and multiply the result by the total property taxes levied on the facility. If both you and your spouse live in the facility, add your shares together. If you lived in the facility only part of the year, multiply this amount by the portion of the year you lived at the facility. Exception: Credit is not allowed if your care facility charges are paid directly to the facility by a government agency. If you maintain a homestead and your spouse lives in an adult care home, you may file a joint credit claim. Compute your claim using the tax on your homestead and your spouse’s rent or share of the facility’s property tax. If you are single and maintain a homestead (that is not rented) while living in an adult care home, you may claim either your homestead or your share of the facility’s property tax, but not both. Use the one that gives you the larger credit. Single Adults Sharing a Home When two or more single adults share a home, each may file a credit claim if each was contracted to pay rent or owns a share of the home. Each adult should file an individual claim based on his or her total household resources, prorated share of taxes levied or rent paid, and prorated share of the taxable value. Additional information can be found on Treasury’s Web site. Line-by-Line Instructions for Homestead Property Tax Credit (MI-1040CR) Lines not listed are explained on the form. Amended Return box: If amending your 2020 credit, check the box at the top of the form. See pages 7 and 27.

If you are married filing separately, enter both Social Security numbers, but do not enter your spouse’s name. Line 5: Check the box that applies to you or your spouse as of December 31, 2020, if any. If both boxes 5a and 5b apply, check both. Line 5a: Age 65 or older. This includes the unremarried surviving spouse of a person who was 65 or older at the time of death. You are considered 65 the day before your 65th birthday. Line 5b: Deaf, blind, hemiplegic, paraplegic, quadriplegic, or totally and permanently disabled. • Deaf means the primary way you receive messages is through a sense other than hearing (e.g., lip reading or sign language) • Blind means your better eye permanently has 20/200 vision or less with corrective lenses, or your peripheral field of vision is 20 degrees or less. • Totally and permanently disabled means disabled as defined under Social Security Guidelines 42 USC 416. If you are age 66 or older, you may not file a claim as totally and permanently disabled. Line 6: Filing Status. Check the box to identify your filing status. All couples who are married under the laws of the State of Michigan, or under the laws of another state, and are treated as married for federal tax purposes must claim either married filing jointly or married filing separately status on the property tax credit. If you file a joint federal return, you must file a joint property tax credit. If you filed married filing separately, you must include the total household resources of both spouses unless you maintained separate homesteads. If you filed your federal return as head of household or qualifying widow(er), file your property tax credit as single. Line 7: Residency. Check the box that describes your Michigan residency for 2020. If you and your spouse had a different residency status during the year, check a box for each of you. If you checked box c, enter the dates of Michigan residency in 2020. Property Tax Line 8: Homestead Status. Check this box if the taxable value of your homestead includes unoccupied farmland classified as agricultural by your assessor. Line 9: If the taxable value of your homestead is greater than $135,000, STOP; you are not eligible for the homestead property tax credit. If your taxable value is less than $135,000, enter the 2020 taxable value from your 2020 property tax statement or assessment notice. If you do not know your taxable value, contact your local assessor. Farmers should include the taxable value of all land that qualifies for this credit (see instructions for farmers on page 27). Farmers should note that the $135,000 limit on taxable value does not apply to the taxable value on the portion of their homestead that is attributable to unoccupied farmland classified as agricultural. Line 10: Read “Property Taxes Eligible for Credit” on page 27 before you complete this line. Line 11: Read “Rent Eligible for Credit” on page 28 before you complete this line.
