Scammers are contacting taxpayers while pretending to be from the Michigan Department of Treasury, using out‑of‑state phone numbers. They may request payments or attempt to trick you into providing your bank account information. Always verify the source before sharing any personal or financial details.
I used the e-Payments system to pay another person's taxes. If their return is processed and they are due a refund, will that refund be issued to me?

No, by law, we must issue the refund in the name(s) and Social Security number(s) of the taxpayer(s) listed on the tax return. You will need to make arrangements privately with the person whose tax you paid.
