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.
My farmland preservation tax credit was issued jointly with the county, how do I cash it?
You should take the check, remittance advice, and a copy of your farmland development rights agreement(s) to your county treasurer(s). He or she will ask you to endorse the check, then use the refund to pay any delinquent property taxes. Any amount remaining will be refunded to you by the county treasurer.
Note: Once a jointly payable check has been issued, a new check payable only to you will not be issued if you later prove the taxes have been paid.
