OVERVIEW

E-file enables you to submit your Michigan and federal individual income tax returns using a computer instead of mailing paper returns. You can even e-file your Michigan return separately from your federal return (State-Only e-file). If you choose to e-file your Michigan tax return alone, be sure to calculate your federal return first before completing and e-filing your Michigan return. You may be able to e-file for FREE.

Almost two-thirds (over 3.2 million) of all Michigan taxpayers e-filed their 2007 income tax returns, placing Michigan 3rd in the nation when it comes to e-filing.

Your 2008 income tax return may be e-filed from January 11, 2009 through October 15, 2009.
