In an effort to provide improved taxpayer service and efficiency, the Michigan Department of Treasury began processing the City of Detroit Individual Income Tax returns beginning with the 2015 tax year.

The transition is part of Detroit’s post-bankruptcy management plan and affects any taxpayer subject to Detroit City income tax.

City taxpayers are able to e-file their Detroit return with or without their State of Michigan Individual Income Tax return. In addition, taxpayers now have access to Treasury’s online services to check the status of their return.

Filing due date for the 2017 Tax Year: April 17, 2018

If you owe tax, mail your return to: Michigan Department of Treasury Lansing, MI 48929

Mail refund or zero-due returns to: Michigan Department of Treasury Lansing, MI 48956
