Electronic Filers

If you filed your original return electronically using a software product, we recommend attempting to file your amended return using that same product.  Most software vendors have updated their products to account for the unemployment exclusion.  E-filing your amended return will ensure greater accuracy and faster processing times.

 

Paper Filers

If you paper file your amended return, here are some helpful reminders:

  • Use the MI-1040 and check the amended box.
  • Include schedule AMD which captures the reason why you are amending the return.  To complete properly, check Box N and on line 8 "Explanation of changes", please write "Federal Unemployment Exclusion".

Explanation of changes.
