The Michigan Department of Treasury offers several relief programs, but eligibility depends entirely on your financial situation. We analyze your income, assets, and overall situation to determine the best strategy. We then build the legal argument required to secure relief.
A state payment plan lets you resolve your balance with manageable monthly payments. An approved agreement protects you from aggressive collection actions like bank levies or wage garnishments. We can negotiate a plan structured to fit your budget.
The Treasury may agree to settle your tax debt for a fraction of what you owe. An Offer in Compromise requires extensive financial disclosure and a powerful legal justification. We have deep experience preparing and negotiating these complex state-level settlements.
If you cannot afford basic living expenses, we can request that the Treasury place your account in hardship status. This action provides a temporary but immediate pause on all enforced collections. The financial pressure stops while you get back on your feet. In many cases, the State’s right to collect on the tax debt expires before it resumes collection actions.
State tax collection is often faster and less forgiving than IRS enforcement. The Michigan Treasury has powerful tools and uses them. You have fewer appeal rights and much shorter timelines to respond.
A formal notice can escalate into a tax warrant, which serves as a lien on your property. From there, the state can issue a bank levy to seize funds directly from your accounts. They can also garnish your wages, taking a portion of every paycheck until the debt is satisfied.
