Does a 401k direct rollover count as nontaxable income for total household resources on MI 1040CR (Homestead Property Tax Credit)?

A direct rollover does not count as income (taxable or nontaxable) until you start drawing from it.

No, a direct rollover from one 401k plan to another is nontaxable, but not part of household resources.   From the MI 1040CR instructions (page 6, Line 18):

Enter all annuity, retirement pension, and individual retirement account (IRA) benefits.   This should be the taxable amount shown on your U.S. Form 1099-R.  If no taxable amount is shown on your U.S. Form 1099-R, use the amount required to be included in AGI.   Enter “0” if all of your distribution is from your contributions made with income previously included in AGI.  Include reimbursement payments such as an increase in a pension to pay for Medicare charges. Also include the total amount of any lump sum distribution including amounts reported on your U.S. Form 4972.  Do not include recoveries of after-tax contributions or amounts rolled over into another plan (amounts rolled over into a Roth IRA must be included to the extent included in AGI).  You must include any part of a distribution from a Roth IRA that exceeds your total contributions to the Roth IRA regardless of whether this amount is included in AGI.
