With tax season in full swing, the state of Michigan recently revealed a variety of updates to its online sites to make filing taxes easier on companies and business owners of all sizes.
Michigan’s businesses now have a less-stressful option for conducting taxpayer transactions after several recent enhancements were made to the Michigan Treasury Online website, according to the Michigan Department of Treasury.
Effective immediately, businesses can upload their W-2s and other wage statements, request fuel credit refunds and perform other paperless taxpayer duties through a cleaner, redesigned website. For the last year, Treasury has worked to make MTO an effective and user-friendly resource for business taxpayers by improving and expanding its internet services.
“Treasury is committed to enhancing our taxpayer services and experiences,” Michigan Treasurer Nick Khouri said. “We carefully listened to the business community about what works and what doesn’t work when conducting business online. As a result of those conversations, changes were made to the Michigan Treasury Online website to ensure our taxpayers are adequately served.”
By the close of 2017, Treasury hopes to have 160,000 SUW taxpayers actively using Michigan Treasury Online, accounting for approximately half of Michigan’s SUW taxpayers.
Through MTO, business taxpayers can do everything from creating and maintaining personal user profiles to access web services, electronically register a business for Michigan business taxes, connect to Treasury business accounts through a variety of platforms, manage registration information with Treasury and more.
Business taxpayers also can print and save tax return drafts, print or retrieve emailed confirmation numbers, manage payments and payment information, view and print all filed returns and payments, request fuel credit refunds, upload W-2 and other wage statements and view Treasury-issued correspondence and sales tax licenses.
