Paying your Michigan taxes online is now easier than ever. You can make a payment using the Michigan Treasury's online payment system, which accepts payments through the state's treasury website.
The system allows you to pay your taxes using multiple payment options, including e-check, credit card, and debit card. You can even set up a payment plan if you're unable to pay your taxes in full.
To get started, you'll need to have your tax account information and payment method ready. This will make the process faster and more efficient.
You can make a payment 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, using the online payment system.
Payment Options
You can pay your Michigan state taxes online using the ePayments system, which offers quick and easy electronic payments. You can choose to pay by eCheck or debit/credit card.
To pay by eCheck, you must have filed your taxes prior to the end of the year in which they were due. For example, you can only pay your 2023 MI state income taxes by eCheck online if you file them by December 31st, 2024. You must also use the same zip code listed on your Michigan Individual Income Tax Return.
There is a $3.95 fee for debit card payments and a 2.3% convenience fee for credit cards. Online payments can be made for tax due payments, extension payments, and quarterly estimated payments.
You can also pay by direct debit from your checking or savings account when e-filing your tax return. This is a voluntary option that only applies to the electronic return you're filing.
If you've received an assessment from the Michigan Department of Treasury's Collection Services Bureau, use the Collections e-Service payment system. Payments for 2023 tax due returns can be made using this system, but prior year payments are not accepted electronically.
To make a payment by check or money order, make the check payable to "State of Michigan" and print your complete Social Security number(s) and appropriate tax year on the front of your check or money order.
Here are some important tips for mailing payments:
- Send one check for each return type.
- Include your complete Social Security number on any mailed payments.
- Do not staple your check to your return.
- Do not mail your return or payment in the same envelope with any other returns or payments.
- Mail each year return with payment in separate envelopes.
If you're unable to submit the entire payment by April 15th, you may make a late or partial payment(s) until you receive a Final Bill for Taxes Due. Submit any late or partial payments online or by mail via check or money order.
Tax Types
You can pay your taxes online using various tax types, including income tax, sales tax, and property tax. Each type has its own set of rules and deadlines.
Income tax is the most common type, and it's typically paid by individuals who earn a salary or have investments. You can pay your income tax online using a secure website or mobile app.
Sales tax is another type, which is usually collected by businesses and passed on to the government. The rates vary by state and even by local jurisdictions.
Corporate Income Tax
Michigan charges 6% in corporate income tax. This is a significant tax that businesses in the state need to be aware of.
The good news is that filing corporate income tax in Michigan is relatively straightforward. You can file online via the Michigan Treasury Online, making it easy to stay on top of your tax obligations.
If you prefer to pay your corporate income tax online or via mail, you can do so. However, EFT transfer is recommended due to its convenience.
Sales Taxes
Sales taxes are paid the same way as employment taxes. You can pay online through the Michigan Treasury Online.
If you prefer not to use the online service, you can pay via check. Make sure to include your business tax account number, SUW, and the return period listed on your check.
To pay via check, simply write your business tax account number, SUW, and the return period on the check. This ensures your payment is processed correctly.
Paying sales taxes is an essential part of running a business in Michigan. You can't avoid it, so it's best to get it done efficiently.
By following the simple steps outlined above, you can stay on top of your sales tax payments and avoid any potential issues.
MI-1040
To file your MI-1040, you'll need to meet certain obligations under Michigan law. You're responsible for filing a timely tax return, which means getting it in on or before April 15.
Payment of tax due must be received by April 15 to avoid penalties and interest. If you're late, you'll be charged extra fees that will continue to accrue until you pay your debt in full.
You can make payments online through the Michigan Individual Income Tax e-Payments system, or by check or money order to the Michigan Department of Treasury at P.O. Box 30774, Lansing MI 48929. Be sure to include your complete Social Security number and the tax year on the check or money order.

Employment Taxes
You can pay your employment taxes online via the Michigan Treasury Online. This option is convenient and allows you to manage your taxes digitally.

You can also pay without your tax return if you've already filed it.
