Michigan Taxes

Michigan Income Tax Withholding

Michigan requires employers to withhold state income tax from employees' wages and remit the amounts withheld to the Department of the Treasury.

Michigan has reciprocal agreements with Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin. Michigan employers are not required to withhold Michigan income tax from compensation earned in Michigan by residents of those states.

Other out-of-state employers that have employees who work in Michigan must register with the state Treasury Department and withhold Michigan income tax from all employees working within the state.
