FAQ
  Individual Income Tax
Can I sign my Michigan e-file return electronically?
 
Answer:
Yes, if you are e-filing your Michigan return separately from your federal return (State-Only e-file) you may choose to sign it electronically if you filed a MI-1040, MI-1040CR, MI-1040CR-2 or MI-1040CR-7 for the previous tax year. The Electronic Signature Alternative (ESA) is composed of the following "shared secrets" from your previous year's return:

Social Security Number(s)
Adjusted gross income (AGI) or household income (HHI) from the previous year's return; and
Tax due or refund amount from the previous year's return.

The shared secrets can be from your return as originally filed, an amended return, or the return as corrected by Treasury.
