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.
Notice of Proposed Penalty and Interest for Underpaid Estimates
This notice was sent because you did not make the required estimated payments. The Michigan Income Tax Act requires taxpayers to make quarterly estimated payments if the income tax liability will be $500 or more after credits and withholding.
To avoid penalty and interest for underpaid estimates, your total tax paid through credits and withholdings must be:
- 90% of your current year's tax liability or
- 100% of your previous year's tax liability or
- 110% of your previous year's tax liability if your previous year's adjusted gross income is more than $150,000 ($75,000 for married filing separate)
