Scammers are contacting taxpayers while pretending to be from the Michigan Department of Treasury, using out‑of‑state phone numbers. They may request payments or attempt to trick you into providing your bank account information. Always verify the source before sharing any personal or financial details.
Nexus & Apportionment 11. If an out-of-state corporation owns a partnership interest in a partnership in Michigan, does that create nexus for the corporation?
Yes. There are three separate, alternative nexus standards under the CIT. A taxpayer has nexus with Michigan under the CIT if any of the following exists: (1) the taxpayer has a physical presence in Michigan for a period of more than 1 day during the tax year, (2) the taxpayer actively solicits sales in Michigan and has Michigan sourced gross receipts of $350,000 or more, or (3) if the taxpayer has an ownership interest or a beneficial interest in a flow-through entity, directly, or indirectly through 1 or more other flow-through entities, that has nexus in Michigan. MCL 206.621(1). A partnership is considered a flow-through entity under the CIT. MCL 206.607(2). Thus, if the partnership has nexus with Michigan, the ownership interest in that partnership will create nexus in Michigan for the corporation.
