To explain Michigan filing requirements
Who must file a Michigan Income Tax Return (MI-1040)
Give instructions and guidelines on how to complete the MI-1040 and other Michigan forms
Federal income tax laws, rules, forms, etc. are separate and distinct from each state's income tax laws, rules and forms
State income tax returns are built off of federal income tax return information, so a person should first fill out a federal tax return and then the applicable state tax return
If you filed a nonresident alien U.S. federal tax return (1040NR or 1040NR-EZ) and you have Michigan income, you must file a Michigan income tax return
Nonresident aliens for federal tax purposes are nonresidents for Michigan tax purposes
You are a nonresident of Michigan when your domicile is NOT in Michigan
What is domicile?
Permanent and principal home to which a person ALWAYS intends to return, even if they are temporarily located elsewhere
A person has only 1 domicile at a time
Nonresidents CANNOT claim:
The Homestead Property Tax Credit (MI-1040CR)
OR
The Home Heating Credit (MI-1040CR-7)
A person must be a Michigan resident to claim these credits
If Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) is $4,000 or less, NO return is needed EXCEPT to claim a refund
If AGI is greater than $4,000, YES, you must file
