THANK YOU SO MUCH LenaH for your reply. Line 27 on my MI-2210 shows a $51 penalty ($48 penalty+$3 interest). Here are some other factors that may be the reason your mock return does not reflect this same result. I am military so my income is not taxed in Michigan. Therefore, I had $0 of Michigan taxes withheld from my 2023 and 2024 W2s. So when TT tries to calculate if I meet the 100% and 90% withholding thresholds, it gets a zero result. My only income taxable in MI is from interest, dividends and capital gains. Interest and dividends are negligible but I had roughly 10K of capital gains in 2023 and 19K in 2024. So my MI tax bill was $192 in 2023 (not enough to require estimated payments) and $599 in 2024 (enough to trigger the MI-2210 form). If you look at MI-2210 in the forms view, I am guessing your mock return shows box B checked in the "Form MI-2210 Information Smart Worksheet" section at the top. This would solve my problem. I could not find a way in the Step-by-Step instructions to make sure this box is checked. There are questions for box A and box C, but not box B. Am I allowed to check this box myself in the forms view and then submit my return? Thanks again.
