I live in Dearborn MI. Work in Detroit. Do owe 2.4% resident city tax or 1.2% nonresident tax just? Does the city consider Dearborn part of Detroit since Detroit Metro?
Wondering what defines residency of detroit?

You will only owe non resident tax (1.2%) if you live in Dearborn. Listed below are the residency rules for City of Detroit returns:
Residency and Determining Which Form You Must File
You only have one residency status, and that status determines which form you will file.
If you lived inside the City of Detroit for all of 2017 (January through December), you are a resident of Detroit. File a City of Detroit Resident Income Tax Return (Form 5118).
If you lived outside the City of Detroit for all of 2017 (January through December), you are a nonresident of Detroit. File a City of Detroit Nonresident Income Tax Return (Form 5119) if you earned income in the City of Detroit.
