The advice from @Cynthiad66 to continue to e-file failed me. I had same issue in 2023 (a withholding payment in only one quarter that TurboTax averaged over four quarters). I continued to e-file my MI return in 2023 with a penalty I did not owe. The Michigan Department of Treasury never notified me of any corrections.
The TurboTax Federal Form 2210 has a "Tax Withheld Smart Worksheet". This solves the problem for the Federal filing.
The MI Form 2210 has no "Tax Withheld Smart Worksheet". Why not? Can it be incorporated using the same technique as the Federal 2210? The Michigan Department of Treasury does not force taxpayers to consider one-fourth of withholdings paid on each due date if they can document the dates the tax was withheld (see their instructions, page 4 in 2024 MI-2210).
