Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

10 provisions identified: 6 benefits, 0 costs, 4 mixed.

Broader deductions for wrongful imprisonment compensation

You can deduct compensation under Michigan's Wrongful Imprisonment Compensation Act to the extent included in adjusted gross income. The law removes the restriction to tax years beginning after December 31, 2018.

Disabled veterans get loan discharge deductions

Beginning with tax years starting January 1, 2025, qualifying disabled veterans can deduct student-loan discharge income included in adjusted gross income. The Education Department must discharge the loan through its total and permanent disability program and report it on Form 1099-C. Veterans must have a VA finding of permanent, total service-related disability with benefits at the 100% rate, or individual unemployability.

More Guard pensions qualify for deductions

You can deduct retirement or pension benefits for Michigan National Guard service to the extent included in adjusted gross income. Benefits no longer need to have begun on or after January 1, 2012.

Workers get tips and overtime deductions

For tax years beginning in 2026, 2027, or 2028, Michigan allows deductions for qualified tips and overtime pay. Each deduction is limited to the amount allowed on your federal return for the same year. Nonresidents can deduct only qualifying pay for work performed in Michigan.

Michigan directs tax money toward roads

The revenue schedule sends up to $1.2 billion first to the General Fund, then up to $50 million to housing annually. In fiscal years 2022–23 and 2023–24, the next deposits are up to $50 million for revitalization and $500 million for strategic outreach and attraction. In 2024–25, the next deposits are up to $50 million for revitalization and $250 million for the Healthy Michigan Fund. After the initial General Fund and housing deposits, road-fund limits rise: $688 million in 2025–26, $776 million in 2026–27, $864 million in 2027–28, $952 million in 2028–29, and $1.04 billion annually beginning in 2029–30. Deposits depend on available revenue, follow the stated order, and leave the remaining money for the General Fund.

Retirees face deduction and exemption tradeoffs

For tax years beginning in 2026 through 2028, eligible retirees can claim an age-based deduction of $20,000 single or $40,000 jointly. Those claiming it cannot also claim the personal exemption. This restriction does not bar the separate retirement deduction described in subsection (1)(f)(iii).

Broader tax exemption after a stillbirth

You can claim an additional Michigan personal exemption for a tax year when you have a state certificate of stillbirth. The certificate must come from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. The law removes the restriction to tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2019.

Estates and trusts use separate deductions

Michigan resident estates and trusts exclude specified federal transition rules for tax years beginning after December 31, 2021. These are Public Law 119-21, section 70302 rules, including research-expense transitions related to section 174A. For years beginning after December 31, 2024, they disregard federal sections 168(n) and 174A. They use sections 163(j), 168(k), 174, and 179 as of December 31, 2024. The State Treasurer must make needed adjustments to related code references.

Filers can choose federal code versions

The law sets January 1, 2025, as the federal tax code reference date in these provisions. Taxpayers can instead elect the federal code in effect for their tax year. The version used can change how federal rules enter the Michigan tax calculation.

Business owners use separate Michigan deductions

For tax years beginning after December 31, 2021, Michigan excludes federal transition rules under Public Law 119-21, section 70302. For years beginning after December 31, 2024, both covered income calculations exclude federal sections 168(n) and 174A. The adjusted-gross-income calculation uses December 31, 2024, rules for sections 163(j), 168(k), 174, and 179. The covered federal-taxable-income calculation instead excludes section 168(k), while freezing sections 163(j), 174, and 179 at that date. These rules affect business interest, depreciation, research costs, and expensing; the State Treasurer must adjust related code references.
