Part-year resident or Nonresident

[jj430]

I'm stuck on how to answer: What was your Detroit residency during 2019? 

I previously lived in Detroit (I didn't own a home I lived with family), I still work in Detroit but I just moved to another city in Michigan in December 2019. My question is should I file as a Detroit part-year resident or Detroit Nonresident?

Detroit, as part of Michigan, defines a part-year resident as someone who moves in or out of the state. You should file a part-year resident return for your Detroit and MI income.

Thanks for your response. Since I still live in Michigan (and work in Detroit) should I go a head and file as a Detroit Resident instead of Detroit part-year Resident?

If you lived inside the City of Detroit for all of 2019 (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 2019 (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.

If you lived in the City of Detroit less than a full year (anytime between January through December), you are a part-year resident.   File a City of Detroit Part-Year Resident Income Tax Return (Form 5120).
