State of Michigan will extend filing deadline to May 17 to match federal extension
The Michigan Department of Treasury will be extending the state tax filing deadline to match with the recently adjusted federal income tax deadline now set for May 17, 2021. Because the extension is limited to the 2020 taxes, first quarter estimates for tax year 2021 remain due on April 15, 2021.
The extension is limited to the state individual and composite income tax annual return and does not apply to fiduciary returns or corporate income tax returns. This notice does not apply to city income taxes. City income tax taxpayers should contact their respective tax administrators for information regarding that city’s potential conformity with IRS Notice 2021-59.
