State tax filing

They don't make it easy (in contrast, IN & KY have simple one page forms for reciprocal state residents).

 

You were a non-resident of Michigan who lived in a reciprocal state*. 
You had Michigan tax withheld from your wages. You must file a Michigan Individual Income Tax return to claim a refund of Michigan tax withheld.
Required forms include (not limited to): MI-1040, Schedule 1, Schedule NR, and Schedule W.

Schedule 1 has the deduction, hidden away on line 13.
