I currently live in Tennessee which has no income tax. I have a part-time job in Michigan that I work tele-remotely. For the entirety of 2023, I was a Tennessee resident and never set foot in Michigan; however, I noticed on my W-2 that I was paying income tax for the state of Michigan. I contacted my workplace and they said they couldn't return the taxes withheld because they were already sent to the state.
Do I file an income tax return as a non-resident for Michigan and list the amount of income reportable to Michigan as $0 since I didn't earn a salary or wage while physically in Michigan. The item below isn't very clear. Emphasis mine.
Residents of All Other States
If you are filing as a resident of any other state and as a part-year or nonresident of Michigan, use the following guideline for determining the income attributable to Michigan:
Part-year residents enter salaries and wages received for the period you were a Michigan resident plus any wages earned in Michigan after your residency changed.
Nonresidents enter salaries and wages earned in Michigan.
NOTE: Taxes paid to local governments in Reciprocal states are eligible.
