MI taxes income earned in MI. Perhaps you had scholarship income in MI? If you have no MI sourced income, did you mark that you are a MI resident? Normally, a student stays with the same home state as the parents. Most college kids don't change their license, etc for school- they are just passing through.

Why did you do a MI return?
