Michigan has a state income tax, so tax time here means two returns — your federal return and your Michigan return. Compass Tax Center handles both, personally, year-round, and 100% virtually. From Detroit to Grand Rapids to the U.P., we're a secure upload and a phone call away.
A federal return and a Michigan return, prepared together so they line up and you claim every credit you're owed. Michigan uses a single flat rate for everyone, which keeps the state side simpler — but it still has to be done right.
Two returns instead of one means more to keep straight. We handle the whole picture, federal and state, and we're here after April, too.
Michigan taxes personal income at a single flat rate rather than a sliding scale. On top of that, the state has been phasing back a deduction for pension and retirement income, so more retirees can shelter part of it from Michigan tax again.
The retirement rules are the tricky part. We make sure your Michigan return uses the deduction you actually qualify for, and that your two returns agree.
Michigan's flat income tax is the main event, but a few other taxes matter too. If any of these are you, they're firmly in our wheelhouse.
You don't need a tax office down the road — you need the right person handling both your returns. Everything we do is secure and fully virtual, so working with us is exactly as easy from Marquette as it is from Detroit. And since we serve all 50 states, if life moves you out of Michigan, your tax help doesn't have to change.
Start now or book a free consultation. We're here year-round — for tax season and everything after it.
