Hello michigan taxed my income but I am not a michigan resident how do I get my money back?

[BillM223]

What I assume that happened is that your employer withheld money and sent it to Michigan instead of another state. If so, that wasn't Michigan taxing you but your employer sending your money to the wrong state.

Did you work in Michigan? If so, then Michigan has the right to tax you for work done there. 

Unfortunately, if the employer made a mistake, they can't get your money back. You will have to file a Michigan non-resident return to recover your errant withholding.

Not being a MI resident does not, in itself, mean that you're not subject to MI tax.  You need to explain the circumstances of "michigan taxed my income," and which state is your resident state, for more specific advice. 

This is the general rule: The income is work state (WS) source income since it was earned there. Resident States (RS) tax all their resident's income, regardless of where earned. You will file a non-resident tax return for the WS and report the WS income. You will file a full year resident return for the RS, reporting all your income. The RS will give you a credit, or partial credit for any tax paid to the WS.

If the WS & RS are reciprocal states, it works differently.

You have to file a MI non resident return to get the MI withholding refunded.  Not filing a MI return and letting them keep the money is an option.. TurboTax will charge you $40 to prepare the MI return. 

You might want to try filing by hand
