      CITY OF DETROIT FILING INFORMATION 

In an effort to provide improved taxpayer service and efficiency, the Michigan Department of 
Treasury began processing the City of Detroit Individual Income Tax returns beginning with 
the 2015 tax year. 

The transition is part of Detroit’s post-bankruptcy management plan and affects any taxpayer 
subject to Detroit City income tax. 

City taxpayers are able to e-file their Detroit return with or without their State of Michigan 
Individual Income Tax return. In addition, taxpayers now have access to Treasury’s online 
services to check the status of their return. 

Important Information 

Filing due date for the 2022 Tax Year: April 18, 2023 
If you owe tax, mail your return to:  
Michigan Department of Treasury  
Lansing, MI 48929 

Mail refund or zero-due returns to:  
Michigan Department of Treasury  
Lansing, MI 48956
