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.
How does a charitable contribution deduction claimed in 2020 or in 2021 affect total household resources?
For tax year 2020 the charitable cash contribution is a deduction from adjusted gross income and therefore would be a deduction from Total Household Resources as well.
For tax year 2021 the charitable cash contribution is not a deduction from adjusted gross income and therefore would not be a deduction from Total Household Resources.
