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.
What is an offset?
An offset is when Michigan Department of Treasury intercepts your income tax refund or vendor payment, and applies it to a balance owed to the State of Michigan and/or to a Third Party Garnishment.
