You can check the status of your Michigan state tax refund online using the Michigan Department of Treasury's "Where's My Refund?" tool. To do this, you will need the following information:
- Your Social Security Number (SSN)
- Your last name (primary filer)
- The tax year of the return
- Your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) or Total Household Resources (THR)
- Your filing status
You can access this tool at the Michigan Treasury website under Individual Income Tax eServices or directly via the "Where's My Refund?" page
. Timing for refund status updates:
- If you e-filed your return, wait about 3-4 weeks from the date your return was accepted before checking your refund status.
- If you filed a paper return, allow 6-8 weeks before checking
Alternatively, you can call the Michigan Department of Treasury at 1-517-636-4486 to inquire about your refund status by phone
. Make sure you use a modern web browser like Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari for the best experience on the Michigan Treasury website, as Internet Explorer is not supported
. If you want to check your federal refund status, you would use the IRS "Where's My Refund?" tool separately, but for your Michigan state refund, use the Michigan-specific resources mentioned above
