Advocate Request

Unable to assist with tax year 2025

The Taxpayer Advocate Office cannot assist with 2025 individual income tax returns or refunds unless the taxpayer has a verified hardship (for example, an eviction notice or utility shutoff). Proof of hardship must be included with the request.

To check the status of your 2025 return or refund, respond to Treasury requests or use Michigan Treasury eServices at https://www.michigan.gov/taxes/mitreasuryeservices, or call (517) 636-4486. Refund and account updates occur overnight Monday through Friday.
