Getting Familiar with Michigan Treasury Online (MTO)

On the MTO login page, you are prompted to log in to an account. As a first-time user, you have the option to create a user profile.

After logging in, you will have access to the homepage.

You will see different color tiles under Tax Services. Each tile provides essential functions to update and maintain business accounts.

Today we’ll just be focusing on The Marihuana Retailers Excise (MRE) Tax tile! This tile houses the MRE dashboard and allows users to manage business relationships and tax filings.

If this is your first time accessing the MRE Dashboard MTO will allow you to select Create a New Relationship, connecting to a business account.

You can even connect to multiple businesses! Once you’re connected, a tile with the name of the business will appear.

In order to access MRE options for a business, you will need to select the specific tile.

On the right side of the summary screen under MRE actions you’ll notice different drop-down options. These drop-downs house the ability for you to do a variety of different things such as file & pay tax returns, amend filings, maintain locations and review correspondence!

You’ll also notice there is a green tile that reads “Sales, Use and Withholding Tax” toward the bottom of the page. This tile will allow you to have direct access to your Sales, Use, and Withholding dashboard. You might be thinking “Why is this important?” don’t forget that as an MRE business you are required to file both MRE and Sales tax returns.

You will also find additional Form 5676 MRE instructions below:
