Hello, for local Highland Park MI city tax, may I please know which tax rate the Turbo Tax has been using to calculate for non-resident marital joint filing? 1% or 2%?

Also, may I please now which income amount that Turbo Tax is using to calculate this local city tax? Total household income? Or should only use the one income that working at Highland Park place?

Highland park residents are taxed on wages, most forms of compensation and other types of income from residents; so household income for joint filers and the rate is 2% for residents.

Thanks. But we are nonresidents, should we only be charged by 1% income taxes, for household income?

Thanks.

Nonresident should be charged only on the income earned there, not the entire household income at 1% since nonresident.
