Michigan Automated Tax Payment System Information

    Introduction
The information on this page applies only to accounts registered to electronically pay taxes using the Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Debit method. EFT Credit filers will continue to make their payments as normal.

Effective July 22, 2007, a system upgrade to the automated payment system will be complete. This page is to provide information on the changes and enhancements resulting from the completion of the system upgrade. There will be minimal interruption for the scheduling of payments during this transition and it will not affect your ability to transmit timely payments.

If you have recently submitted an application to begin making your payments electronically, an enrollment letter will be mailed to you immediately following the completion of the upgrade. This letter will include a user identification and password.

    User Identifications and Passwords
A unique user identification and password will be required for each tax account number registered with Michigan for EFT filing. To log-on to the automated tax payment system after the system upgrade is complete:
  • Customers with only one tax identification number registered for EFT filing will continue to use the same user identification and password.
  • Customers with more than one tax identification number registered for EFT filing will be mailed notification with a unique user identification and password assigned to each tax identification number on July 12, 2007.
    EFT Bank Account Information
You will no longer be required to complete Form 2439, Notice of Addition or Change of Tax Types/Bank Change when edits to your bank information are needed. The automated tax payment system will provide you with increased flexibility and control of your account and bank information by allowing you to:
  • Enter and store multiple bank account and routing transit number information to your account.
  • Enter different bank and routing transit number information for each debit transaction.
  • Choose from a list of available bank and routing transit number information stored to your account from which you would like the debit transaction to occur.
  • Change/edit bank and routing transit number information.

Note: You may manage bank account and routing transit number information by calling the automated tax payment system. Complete Form 4515, Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Account Update to add or delete a business tax to be paid by EFT.

    Payment Schedule
You may continue to make your payments 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. In addition, effective with the July 22, 2007 changes:
  • You may complete your transaction by 9:00 pm ET one business day prior to the due date for timely receipt of payments.
  • Payments may be warehoused up to 90 days in advance of the settlement date.
    Editing/Canceling a Pending Transaction
Once a payment has been entered:
  • You will be provided a confirmation number at the completion of the payment transaction.
  • You may edit or cancel pending payment information by selecting the appropriate menu option provided. A listing of all your pending transactions is provided. A new confirmation is given at the end of this transaction.

Note: If you wish to edit a pending transaction entered prior to July 22, 2007, you will need to call the tax payment system (1-877-865-2860) and select the option to talk directly with a Customer Service Representative.
