Who Will Receive the Refund Check in 2024?

Beginning February 13th, Michigan households that qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit in Michigan will receive a refund. Whitmer said in a statement:

“This directly benefits half the children in Michigan, and moms and dads can use this extra money at tax time to pay the bills, put food on the table and buy school supplies. We still have more work to do, and today’s announcement will help get you some relief sooner than expected."

Whitmer also said that Michigan residents who qualify for the EITC should expect to receive $550 on average. According to the IRS, the income qualification for EITC are having worked and earned an income under $63,398. Eligible Michiganders do not need to submit any additional paperwork to receive the tax credit. However, if someone  has moved and has concerns about their address accuracy, the person can update that on the Michigan Department of Treasury website.
