Michigan law requires that any money owed to the state and other agencies be deducted from your refund or credit before it is issued.
This includes:
Taxpayers who are married, filing jointly, may receive a computer generated Income Allocation to Non-Obligated Spouse (Form 743) after the return is filed. Completing and filing this form may limit the portion of the refund that can be applied to a liability. If Treasury applies all or part of your refund to any of these debts, you will receive a letter of explanation.
