Michigan State Tax Overview

Michigan has a flat income tax rate, combined with state and local taxes that can vary depending on your location and property value.

Key Michigan Tax Details

  • Michigan State Income Tax: 4.25% flat rate (2025)
  • Michigan State Sales Tax: 6% statewide (no local add-ons)
  • Michigan Property Tax: Varies by municipality, with the State of Michigan Property Tax Estimator helping residents project annual obligations
  • State of Michigan Tax Refunds: Issued by the Michigan Department of Treasury, with delays often caused by processing backlogs or filing errors

I highly recommend their services...

"My husband passed away and we owed the IRS a lot of money. Dealing with trying to get a person to help me at the IRS was a joke and caused me great anxiety. I had no idea where to begin but thanks to Tax Relief Helpers, they stayed by my side the whole way. There's no way I'd be able to handle these tax problems alone.”
