Detroit income tax audits


You can do several things for yourself before you spend money on a lawyer.

First fill out those returns for the years missed. Include a copy of your federal return for the missed years. This IRS return shows all income. This is what the State uses to determine if the amount is correct.

Second send a copy of your W 2 from your employer which shows the actual City of Detroit Tax paid. A letter from your employer's payroll department would also be helpful.

Send amended Detroit returns along with the Federal returns, copy's of your w'2 showing Detroit Tax Paid and a cover letter.

SEND IT CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED.

This is the most important.

They are probably guesstimating your income and taxes. The City loves to do this. You should owe no more than a fine. It may take a while for them to get back to you.

However, before I retired I owned a company in Detroit which employed over 50 people. I have never dealt with a more inept, confused, and stupid taxing authority. The depth of their incompetence was a sight to behold.

Good luck and be patient.
