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.
Why am I receiving billings while I am in bankruptcy?
Billings will be mailed if any of the following are true:
- New assessments are issued. Both an intent to assess and a final assessment must be system issued before an assessment can be changed to bankruptcy status.
- The debt was not dischargeable in bankruptcy, which caused the assessment to be changed to a collectible status.
- Actual returns were filed, assessments were corrected and a letter was issued showing the corrected amount.
- Treasury is not aware of the bankruptcy.
