Treasury makes it easy for taxpayers that have questions regarding taxes with an all-inclusive Web page at www.michigan.gov/incometax. This Web page offers information on what's new for Tax Year 2005, e-file information, and help in locating tax forms.
The all-in-one site also offers a Check My Income Tax Info section that allows individuals to check the status of their refunds, payments, or correspondence. Check My Income Tax Info also allows taxpayers to ask account specific questions via e-mail, and easily find answers to frequently asked questions. To access Check My Income Tax Info, users must enter their last name, Social Security Number, Adjusted Gross Income or Household Income, and filing status.
Taxpayers who do not have Internet access can receive the same information offered on-line, by calling (800) 827-4000. The number is toll-free and callers must also provide their last name, Social Security Number, Adjusted Gross Income or Household Income, and filing status.
Individuals, unable to complete their tax returns by the April 17th deadline, can request an extension by filing an Application for Extension of Time to File Michigan Tax Returns (Form 4). An approved extension gives taxpayers until August 15, 2005, to file their individual tax return. Extension requests must be received by April 17, 2005, and must include an estimated payment of the anticipated taxes due. Form 4 can be downloaded from Treasury's web site at www.michigan.gov/treasury and is available by calling 800-827-4000 to have forms mailed to you. Taxpayers claiming a refund do not have to file an extension request.
