The Michigan Department of Treasury has been made aware that some "Reminder of Tax Due" letters sent to taxpayers contain an incorrect toll-free (1-800) TTY number, which may connect callers to a potential scam. Taxpayers with questions regarding unpaid individual income taxes are asked to contact the Treasury directly at 517-636-4486. We apologize for any confusion or concern this may have caused.
Are distributions from a Roth IRA subject to Michigan individual income tax?
Yes, any portion of your Roth IRA distribution that is included in your federal Adjusted Gross Income (AGI), is subject to Michigan individual income tax.
Distributions from Roth IRAs will only be subject to Michigan individual income tax if the amount is included in AGI. Under a Roth IRA, the contributions are taxed and the distributions are not.
If your administrator is withholding tax, you may change the amount of Michigan individual income tax withheld on your Roth IRA distributions or request that no tax is withheld by completing form MI W-4P and sending it to your pension administrator. Be sure to keep a copy for your records.
