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.
Do I need to claim my homestead property tax credit as income?
Yes, you must include the business portion of your homestead property tax credit which is attributable to farm buildings and farmland in your adjusted gross income in the tax year the credit was received.
However, the homestead property tax credits are not included in Michigan total household resources or household income. If you included this amount in your taxable farm income, you may subtract it from your total household resources or household income.
