Michigan - Pension

[gbcharlie]

For the 2025 tax year, how do I know that the TurboTax software is programmed to allow for the 75% deduction for pensions. I have my taxes done but think the amount owed to MI is too much.

Thank you.

Follow these steps:

1. Locate your MI Form 4884
2. Look at line 27 for the 75% deduction

If you don't see the 75% deduction:

• Be sure the source of your pension is eligible for the MI deduction, double check your 1099-R entries
• The standard MI deduction may be higher than the pension subtraction and therefore, it isn't used.
