Instructions for Married Filing Separately and Divorced or Separated Claimants Schedule (Form 5049)

This form is intended to assist you to correctly calculate total household resources for the Homestead Property Tax Credit (MI-1040CR or MI-1040CR-2) or Home Heating Credit (MI-1040CR-7) when married filing separately or divorced during the tax year.

Instructions for the income breakdown can be found in the following booklets: MI-1040, MI-1040CR-2 or MI-1040CR-7.

Example 1Jackie and John are married filing separately and maintained separate homesteads all year. Jackie is filing for a Homestead Property Tax Credit. Since they did not share a homestead during the year she would not need to include John’s income and would skip to Part 3 of Form 5049. She would complete the explanation box in Part 3 indicating that she maintained a separate homestead all year.

Example 2Karl and Cathy separated on October 2, 2018. Cathy continued to live in the home and Karl moved to an apartment on October 2. They file federal and State returns as married filing separately.

• Cathy earned $20,000 of wages evenly throughout the year.

• Karl earned $25,000 of wages evenly throughout the year.

• They lived together for 274 days.Step 1: Calculate the prorated total household resources for each spouse for the 274 days they lived together. Divide each spouse’s total income by 365 days, then multiply that figure by 274.

Cathy ($20,000/365) x 274 = $15,014

Karl ($25,000/365) x 274 = $18,767

Karl’s Form 5049When completing Part 1, Karl would enter 01-01-2018 in the FROM box and enter 10-01-2018 in the TO box.

American Red Cross Michigan FundThe American Red Cross is always there for you and your community, helping to alleviate suffering caused by disasters big and small. The Red Cross shelters, and provides emotional support to Michigan residents and beyond; supplies about 40 percent of the nation’s blood; teaches skills that save lives; provides international humanitarian aid; and supports military members and their families. By mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors, the Red Cross responds to more than 60,000 disasters annually. In Michigan, last year more than 6,000 volunteers logged more than 200,000 hours assisting others. On average 91 cents of every dollar the Red Cross spends is invested in humanitarian services.

Animal Welfare FundThe outside world can be a harsh, scary place for homeless pets. And throughout Michigan, small towns and big cities alike struggle to find the resources they need to provide medical care to the animals they rescue. Through the Animal Welfare Fund, the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) offers grants to Michigan’s registered animal shelters to help support spaying and neutering programs for shelter dogs and cats up for adoption. Grants also help support many anti-cruelty and proper care programs around the state. Shelters also use grant monies from your generous donations to help care for animals that are seized as part of animal cruelty cases.Children’s Trust Fund - Prevent Child Abuse MichiganThe Children’s Trust Fund (CTF) supports services throughout Michigan to prevent child abuse and neglect. CTF funds home visitation services; respite care; services for families with incarcerated family members; and parenting education and support. CTF supports a statewide network of local Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Councils. Examples of local Council work are teaching professionals about mandated reporting; teaching parents and caregivers about infant head trauma prevention and infant safe sleep practices; and establishing baby pantries to provide diapers, formula, and clothing. In the coming year, CTF and its local Councils will lead statewide efforts to build local responses to the opioid crisis. Fostering Futures Scholarship Trust FundFostering Futures Scholarship provides scholarships to young adults who have experienced foster care to help them achieve a college education. Approximately 13,500 students are in the Michigan foster care system and many students do not have family support after they age out of the system. Nationally, about 75 percent of students express a desire to attend college, less than 10 percent enroll in college and less than three percent graduate college. Scholarships are awarded via an application process and paid directly to the students’ college or university to assist with tuition, fees, room, board, books and supplies. For more information visit www.fosteringfutures-mi.com.

Michigan taxpayers can contribute $5, $10, or more to any of the following funds on the Voluntary Contributions Schedule (Form 4642). Contributions to these funds will increase your tax liability or reduce your refund.

General InstructionsUse this form to explain changes made to your individual income tax returns, credit claims and schedules for tax years 2017 and after. If you are amending for tax year 2016 or prior, you must use Michigan Amended Income Tax Return (MI-1040X-12). Visit www.michigan.gov/taxes to locate tax forms.

When to File an Amended Return:File an amended return only after your original return or claim has been filed and completed processing. If you are claiming a refund on your amended return, you must file it within four years of the due date of your original return. For example, if you wish to amend a 2018 return, the amended return must be postmarked by April 15, 2023.

Supporting DocumentationTo avoid processing delays, if the change to your income tax return is due to a change on your Michigan or federal schedules, include a copy of the corrected schedule(s) with your amended return. Include all applicable supporting documentation to substantiate the change. This may reduce the need for Treasury to contact you for additional information. Applicable supporting forms, schedules and documentation of the change(s) include, but are not limited to: • Forms or documentation corresponding to the box(es)

checked on page 1 of Schedule AMD• Copies of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) audit report,

notice, federal transcripts or other supporting documents• Copies of your amended federal return and schedules• Copies of other state return(s)• Copies of your original or corrected W-2(s), 1099(s), and/or

U.S. Schedule K-1(s)• Copies of your property tax statement(s) and/or lease

agreement(s).

To Amend Credit ClaimsUse this form when the Amended Return box is checked on the Michigan Individual Income Tax Return (MI-1040) and you are amending the following credit claims: • Michigan Historic Preservation Tax Credit (include a

corrected Form 3581)• Small Business Investment Tax Credit (include a Michigan

Strategic Fund certificate)• Farmland Preservation Tax Credit Claim (include a corrected

MI-1040CR-5 and Schedule CR-5).

If you are amending the following credits and have no adjustments to your MI-1040, check the Amended Return box at the top of each credit claim; do not file a new MI-1040 or the Schedule AMD:• Michigan Homestead Property Tax Credit Claim

(MI-1040CR)• Michigan Homestead Property Tax Credit Claim for Veterans

and Blind People (MI-1040CR-2)• Michigan Home Heating Credit Claim (MI-1040CR-7).

NOTE: An amended MI-1040CR-7 claim requesting an additional refund will not be accepted after September 30 following the year of the claim.

Example 1John and June file their MI-1040. After filing, they received a corrected W-2 form which showed an increase in Michigan withholding. To amend, John and June complete a new MI-1040 with the corrected withholding amount and check the Amended Return box at the top of page 1. They also complete a Schedule AMD by checking box 6i to indicate the reason for amending and writing “Corrected W-2 received after filing original return” in the Explanation of Changes box on line 8. When filing their amended return, John and June must include the Michigan Schedule W with their MI-1040. They must also provide a copy of the corrected W-2 as applicable supporting documentation for the change.Example 2Albert files his MI-1040 with an MI-1040CR. After filing, Albert realizes the property taxes levied on his original claim were under reported. Albert only needs to amend the MI-1040CR. To amend, Albert completes a new MI-1040CR with the correct amount of property taxes levied and checks the Amended Return box at the top of page 1. Albert does not need to complete a new MI-1040 or the Schedule AMD; neither are needed to amend only a credit claim. When filing the amended credit claim, Albert includes copies of his 2018 summer and 2018 winter property tax statements as applicable supporting documentation.
