Michigan E-file 2011
AFTER E-FILING
|
How Will I Know if My
e-filed Return Was Received? |
E-filing both federal and Michigan returns together:
- IRS must accept the federal return in order for Michigan to receive the
State return.
- After transmitting, you will receive an electronic return verification
(acknowledgment) that your federal return has been either accepted or rejected
by the IRS.
- You will receive a separate acknowledgment from Michigan for your State
return.
- If your federal return is rejected, the software provider should help you with any needed
corrections. You will need to retransmit both returns.
E-filing Michigan return separately from federal return:
- After transmitting, you will receive an electronic return verification
(acknowledgment) that your Michigan return has been either accepted or
rejected.
- If your Michigan return is rejected, the software provider should help you with any needed
corrections and you will need to retransmit your Michigan return.
Note:
If your online software provider sends e-mail notifications regarding the
status of your return, you may want to verify a spam filter is not blocking
e-mail notifications from the software provider's e-mail address.
If you e-file using a tax preparer, you will receive notification from the
tax preparer if the IRS or Michigan rejected your return

How to Check
the Status of My Refund |

To avoid penalty and interest, payment of taxes due should be
made no later than April 17, 2012. You can e-file your return at any time during
the e-file processing season (mid-January through April 17th), however Form
MI-1040-V (Michigan's e-file Payment Voucher) must be included when payment is
submitted. Your tax preparer or computer software will provide a copy of the
form. The Form MI-1040-V is also available on this Web site. Do not send a copy of
your tax return with your payment and voucher.

It is important to
note that the Michigan Department of Treasury does not participate in
electronic funds withdrawals or direct debit for payment of taxes due. |
