COVID-19 Updates for the
Michigan Department of Treasury
Income Tax Deadline Extension
State of Michigan individual income tax annual returns are due on Monday, May 17, 2021. For the benefit and convenience of taxpayers, both the beginning and end of income tax filing season are the same as the dates set by the Internal Revenue Service.
Individual taxpayers who need additional time to file beyond the May 17 deadline can request an extension to Oct. 15, 2021. Taxpayers requesting additional time to file should estimate their tax liability and pay any taxes owed by May 17, 2021, to avoid additional interest and penalties.
Because the extension is limited to the 2020 taxes, first quarter estimates for tax year 2021 were due on April 15, 2021.
City of Detroit Individual income tax returns and payments are due on May 17, 2021. Individuals in the other 23 Michigan cities that administer a city income tax are encouraged to check with local officials about return and payment deadlines.
