Michigan State Tax Resolution
Unpaid Michigan taxes are collected by the Michigan Department of Treasury, and the state's tools — liens, levies, garnishments, and personal liability for trust-fund taxes — are serious. I represent individuals and small business owners across Southeast Michigan before MDT, and I coordinate your state and federal balances so the whole problem is resolved together, not in pieces.
The state collects aggressively. You have options.
Michigan tax notices & assessments
The Michigan Department of Treasury (MDT) issues bills, demand notices, and final assessments for unpaid state income tax, business tax, sales tax, and withholding tax. I review the notice, confirm what is actually owed, and respond within the state's deadlines.
State liens, levies & garnishments
Michigan can file a state tax lien and garnish wages or levy bank accounts for unpaid state tax. I work to release active levies, manage liens, and put protections in place while your case is resolved.
Business & trust-fund taxes
Michigan sales tax and withholding tax are trust-fund liabilities — owners can be held personally responsible. I help business owners resolve these balances and address personal liability assessments.
The same resolution paths exist at the state level.
Many of the tools available for IRS debt — payment plans, offers, lien management, and hardship consideration — have counterparts with the Michigan Department of Treasury. I assess which applies to your state balance and pursue it directly.
- Michigan installment agreements for state tax balances you cannot pay at once.
- Michigan Offer in Compromise, when settling the state debt for less is realistic.
- Release of state tax liens and levies, and hardship consideration when payment is not feasible.
- Coordination of your IRS and Michigan balances so both are resolved together.
Most clients carry both. I handle both.
It is common for an unpaid IRS balance to produce a matching state liability, and vice versa. Resolving one while the other festers leaves the problem half-alive. I take both on together — one strategy, one point of contact, one resolution that actually closes the matter.
