If I work 100 % remotely and not in the city of Detroit do I still have to file local taxes?

If you are a Detroit resident, all of your income is subject to Detroit tax, no matter where it is earned.   If you are a nonresident, you are not subject to tax on wages earned while telecommuting from a location outside the city.  However, any wages earned by a nonresident while working within the City of Detroit are taxable.

 

 

Resident:     
  •  File a return if you owe tax, are due a refund, or your AGI exceeds your exemption allowance.
  •  If you file a federal return, you should file a City return even if you do not owe City tax. This will eliminate unnecessary correspondence from Treasury. 
  •  If your AGI is less than your personal exemption allowance and City income tax was withheld from your earnings, you must file a return to claim a refund of the tax withheld.

 

Nonresident/Part-Year:

  •  File a return if you owe tax, are due a refund, or your wages exceed your exemption allowance. 
  •  If your wages are less than your personal exemption allowance and City income tax was withheld from your earnings, you must file a return to claim a refund of the tax withheld.

 

Determine your residency status.
