Individuals residing in Michigan are granted an automatic 6-month extension of time to file the state tax return if having an approved federal extension.

If you do not have a Federal extension and you owe state tax, file a separate extension form on or before the due date of the return to get an automatic six-month extension of time to file a Michigan income tax return.

How to pay the state tax due? 

Make a tax payment with your extension form using any of the following options:

  • You can pay the tax due online or by mailing your Form.  
  • Use Form 4 to remit an extension payment whether you are requesting a Michigan extension or using a valid federal extension. However, you do not need to file Form 4 if you owe zero Michigan tax or you’re due a state tax refund.
  • Michigan will accept your federal extension for the period covered by the federal extension.

Does ExpressExtension support this State filing?  

Yes, you can complete and file your Michigan Individual tax extension Form with ExpressExtension in minutes. Our application validates your form by performing an internal audit to check for errors. Once complete, all you need to do is print your form and mail it to the address we provide.  Please Note: An extension to file doesn’t mean more time to pay, if you owe any tax due, make your tax payment by the original due date of your state return to avoid late payment penalties. 

Any Special Requirements?

An extension of time to file is not an extension of time to pay. If you owe Michigan state taxes, you must pay your tax due by the regular due date, or you will be charged with penalties and interest. To avoid underpayment penalties, make a tax payment with your extension form on or before the actual due date of the return.
