Do I have to pay Michigan Income Tax on my social security payments

UPDATED FOR TAX YEAR 2019

No - Social Security benefits are not taxed in Michigan. Neither are US Military pensions, National Guard pensions, and Railroad Benefits.

Payments not reported in federal adjusted gross income are not taxable in Michigan and not subject to withholding. For example, distributions from a Roth IRA or a Roth 401(k) plan are generally not subject to pension withholding because those distributions are generally not taxable.

All other pensions (private and public) and retirement benefits are taxable in Michigan.
