Hello!!
Quick explanation: this applies to *state* tax only. I do not owe any federal tax.
I was working from home during the lockdown of 2020. My then job issued me a letter that certified I worked from home.
However, when I filled the tax return for 2020 the following year, I was double charged state tax (working in 2 counties so I got charged tax for living in one county and working in another), buy of course, I was working from home so I should only have been charged with ONE county tax.
Anyhow, I tried to fix it but they didn't reduce the amount and insisted I pay both counties' taxes.
I have paid half of it and working on the other half.
I need to file for naturalization NOW as my sons are turning 18 very very soon and I won't be able to include them in my application.
I looked it up online but I could only find information on owing federal back taxes. I only owe state tax, which I am planning on paying of course. Before you ask, I cannot afford to pay right now but it is in the budget for the immediate future but not before my sons turn 18.
My question is: will they look at your application immediately upon filing online or do I have a little time?
Can I write them a letter explaining what happened and show I have paid a portion and I am planning on paying the rest soon?
And to answer this potential question: no MI does not allow for an official payment plan but you can go online and pay amounts towards your debt which I have done.
TIA!!!
