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.
Filing Requirements 8. Does the CIT follow the federal check-the-box regulations?
Yes. A person that is required or has elected to file as a C corporation as defined under sections 1361(a)(2) and 7701(a)(3) of the IRC is by definition a corporation under the CIT. This statutory definition effectively adopts the federal "check-the-box" regulations for CIT purposes.
C corporations, insurance companies, financial institutions, and unitary business groups are subject to tax under the CIT.
