Yes, spouses who file separate Michigan income tax returns but shared a homestead for the entire year are entitled to one property tax credit. The credit must be based on the total household resources of both spouses. You must include a completed Form 5049, Worksheet for Married, Filing Separately and Divorced or Separated Claimants.
