Your application paperwork
Form to file: Form MI-1040CR (Homestead Property Tax Credit Claim)
Michigan gives homeowners and renters a credit when their property tax (or a share of rent) is high relative to their total household resources. You claim it on Form MI-1040CR, filed with your Michigan income tax return or on its own if you are not required to file. Homes with a taxable value above the annual limit do not qualify, and you have up to four years to file a claim.
Steps to apply
- Confirm you own or rent and occupy a Michigan home and your total household resources are within the limit.
- Gather your property tax bills (or rent paid) and your income for the year.
- Complete Form MI-1040CR (use MI-1040CR-2 instead if you are a veteran or blind, and file whichever gives the larger credit).
- File it with your MI-1040, or by itself if you are not required to file a return.
Documents you will likely need
- Proof you own or rent and occupy the Michigan home.
- Your property tax statements for the year (or rent receipts).
- Records of your total household resources (income) for the year.
- The completed Form MI-1040CR.
Requirements vary by program and locality. Confirm the exact rules and application route with the administrator. We can help you prepare your paperwork, but you submit it yourself.
