More about the Michigan Form 4 Individual Income Tax Extension TY 2024

File Form 4 or a copy of your federal extension. An extension of time to file the federal return automatically extends the time to file the Michigan return to the new federal due date. An extension of time to file is not an extension of time to pay. If you have not been granted a federal extension, the Michigan Department of Treasury (Treasury) will grant a 6 month extension for Individual Income Tax (IIT) and composite returns, or a 5.5 month extension for fiduciary returns.

We last updated the Instructions for Application for Extension of Time to File Michigan Tax Returns in February 2025, so this is the latest version of Form 4, fully updated for tax year 2024. You can download or print current or past-year PDFs of Form 4 directly from TaxFormFinder. You can print other Michigan tax forms here.

Form 4 is a Michigan Individual Income Tax form. The IRS and most states will grant an automatic 6-month extension of time to file income tax and other types of tax returns, which can be obtained by filing the proper extension request form. Obtaining an extension will prevent you from being subject to often very large failure-to-file penalties. However, in most cases this extension does not exempt you from the requirement to pay any tax owed in full by the return's original filing date.

About the Individual Income Tax

The IRS and most states collect a personal income tax, which is paid throughout the year via tax withholding or estimated income tax payments.

Most taxpayers are required to file a yearly income tax return in April to both the Internal Revenue Service and their state's revenue department, which will result in either a tax refund of excess withheld income or a tax payment if the withholding does not cover the taxpayer's entire liability. Every taxpayer's situation is different - please consult a CPA or licensed tax preparer to ensure that you are filing the correct tax forms!
