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.
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.
