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.
May an employee deduct any expenses (e.g. utilities, internet services, office equipment) incurred in order to telecommute for an employer?
No. The Federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act does not allow employees to deduct expenses incurred for the business use of a home from 2018 through 2025. There is no separate Michigan subtraction that would allow the expense.
