Help With Your Taxes New for 2019Stillbirth Exemption. A stillbirth exemption is available if you are a parent of a stillborn delivered during 2019 and have been issued a Certificate of Stillbirth from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS). See instructions for line 9d on page 10 for more details. Michigan Standard Deduction. If the older of you or your spouse (if married filing jointly) was born during the period January 1, 1946 through December 31, 1952, and reached the age of 67 on or before December 31, 2019, you may deduct $20,000 for single or married filing separately filers or $40,000 for joint filers against all income, rather than solely against retirement and pension income. Taxpayers that qualify for the Michigan Standard Deduction are not eligible to deduct retirement and pension income on the Michigan Pension Schedule (Form 4884).Expanded Subtraction for Retirement Benefits. If the older of you or your spouse (if married filing jointly) was born on or after January 1, 1953 but before January 2, 1958, have reached age 62 and receive Social Security exempt retirement benefits due to employment with a governmental agency, you may be eligible for a retirement and pension deduction.

Use TaxEvery state that has a sales tax has a companion tax for purchases made outside that state by catalog, telephone, or Internet. In Michigan, that companion tax is called “use tax,” but might be described as a remote sales tax because it is a 6 percent tax owed on purchases made outside of Michigan. Use tax is due on catalog, telephone, or Internet purchases made from out-of-state sellers as well as purchases while traveling in foreign countries when the items are to be brought into Michigan. Use tax must be paid on the total price (including shipping and handling charges). Many Internet retailers charge tax on sales to Michigan residents. Beginning October 1, 2018, additional Internet retailers were required to pay Michigan sales tax and may collect tax on sales to Michigan residents. However, buyers using third-party platforms or marketplaces are less likely to have paid tax at the time of purchase and may still owe use tax. Taxpayers should review their records to determine if the retailer charged tax at the time of sale. If the Michigan tax was paid at 6 percent, no additional tax would be due.How to Report Use TaxUse Worksheet 1 to calculate your use tax and enter the amount of use tax due on MI-1040, line 23.Worksheet CalculationLine 1: For purchases of $0 to $1,000, multiply your total purchases times 6 percent (0.06) and enter the amount on Line 1, or, if you have incomplete or inaccurate receipts to calculate your purchases, you may use “Table 1 - Use Tax” to estimate your taxes (see the following example).

Line 1 should contain a number unless you made no purchases under $1,000 subject to the use tax. Line 2: In all cases, if a single purchase is $1,000 or more and tax is not collected by the seller, you must pay 6 percent use tax on that purchase. Example: Ed ordered a computer from a catalog retailer in New York for $1,437.50. Ed also purchased items over the Internet for less than $1,000 during the year, but lost his receipts. He is sure he did not pay Michigan sales tax. Ed’s AGI is $46,500. Ed would complete Worksheet 1 as follows:Line 1: Ed selects $18 from Table 1 ................................... $18Line 2: Ed enters $1,437.50 x 6 percent ........................ $86.25Line 3: Total use tax due ............................................. $104.25Ed would enter $104 (rounding down because the amount is 49 cents or less) on his MI-1040, line 23.Estimating your taxes does not preclude Treasury from auditing your account. If additional tax is due, you may receive an assessment for the amount of the tax owed, plus applicable penalty and interest.Use Tax on the DifferenceIf you paid at least 6 percent to another state on your purchase, you do not owe use tax to Michigan. If you paid less than 6 percent, you owe the difference. NOTE: The full 6 percent use tax is also owed on purchases made in a foreign country.For more information, visit www.michigan.gov/taxes.

Scenario 3: Filer and spouse both born in Tier 2 with the older spouse born in 1948 and receiving surviving benefits from a deceased spouse born in 1945 (Tier 1).William and Betty are Michigan residents and are filing a joint return. William, born in 1948, is receiving public pension benefits of $10,000 and wages from a part-time job. Betty, born in 1951, is receiving private pension benefits of $20,000. William’s deceased spouse, Johanna, was born in 1945 and died in 2015. William is receiving $7,500 in surviving spouse pension benefits from Johanna’s private pension.

Step 1: As the older of William and Betty was born in 1948 (age 71 in 2019), they do not complete Form 4884 and instead complete Schedule 1, lines 22 and 23 for the Michigan Standard Deduction. Once William reached the age of 67, William and Betty no longer qualify for a pension deduction. This includes benefits from an older deceased spouse. Instead, they qualify for the standard deduction against all income (pension, wages, interest, etc.) ................................................................................. Do not file Form 4884.

Scenario 2: Joint filers, with the older spouse born prior to January 1, 1946 (Tier 1) who died during the tax year with private pension benefits.Bob and Mary are filing a joint return.

Bob received a 1099-R for $50,000 with a distribution code of 7 and Mary received a 1099-R for $5,000 with a distribution code of 4 for the remainder of Bob’s pension. Mary, born in 1952, is receiving a public pension of $70,000 with a distribution code of 7.

Step 1: After completing lines 1 through 3, Mary enters 1944 on line 4 and 1952 on line 5. Mary does not complete line 7 or check 8B because Bob died during the current tax year.

Step 2: Mary completes row 1 of line 8 by entering an X in Private for 8A, the payer FEIN in 8C, the distribution code 7 in 8D, the name of payer in 8E, and $50,000 in 8F. .........................................
