How do I amend a MI state homestead tax credit and a home heating credit claim ?

To amend your MI state income tax return and add your social security income, see I need to amend my state return.

You may qualify for a MI property tax credit if all of the following apply:

• Your total household resources were $60,000 or less (part year residents must annualize total household resources to determine if a credit reduction applies)
• If 100% of your total household resources were received from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, you do not qualify

Note: You may be required to submit documentation to support your claim. See Homeowners or Renters Checklist for details.
