Can I deduct rent in michigan

[CarolynB · Accepted solution]

yes, you can if you meet certain requirements. what you are referring to is the Homestead Property Tax Credit. you can claim this credit if all of the following apply.

• your homestead is in Michigan
• You were a resident of Michigan for at least six months during the year
• You own or are contracted to pay rent and occupy a Michigan homestead on which property taxes were levied
• if you own your home, your taxable value is 135,000 or less
• you total household resources are $50,000 or less.

See www.michigan.gov/taxes for more information.

Hope this helps.
