State-Only e-file Offers

State-Only e-file lets you submit your Michigan individual income tax return separately from your federal return. You can even e-file your homestead property tax credit and/or home heating credit claims separately. If you 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 want to choose State-Only e-file if you:

  • Already filed your federal return (e-filed or paper filed).
  • Are not required to file a federal return.
  • Only need to file a Michigan property tax credit and/or home heating credit claim.

If you already filed your federal return, and now want to e-file your Michigan return, do not e-file another copy of the federal return. Doing so will result in a rejection from the IRS and Michigan will not receive your State return information.
