🚨🚨🚨🚨 State Refund
FYI

As of April 2026, the Michigan Department of Treasury is addressing a widespread "glitch" involving incorrect tax adjustment notices sent to numerous residents. This issue is occurring alongside significant delays in refund processing due to a major system transition.

The "Notice of Adjustment" Glitch
The Issue: Many taxpayers have recently received "Notice of Adjustment" letters that incorrectly claim they owe additional money or that their refunds have been reduced.
Cause: Reports from tax professionals indicate the glitch is "fairly widespread" and stems from the Treasury's implementation of a new processing system.
Action Required: If you receive a notice that seems incorrect, verify your status through the official Michigan Treasury eService portal. Do not immediately pay a demanded balance without verifying its accuracy.

Refund Status "Pending Review"
Many filers are seeing their refund status stuck in "Pending Review" or "Manual Review" for 6–8 weeks or longer.

System Transition: The state is moving to a new software platform, which has slowed down real-time status updates.
Common Flagged Credits: Returns containing the Home Heating Credit or the Earned Income Tax Credit are facing longer processing times as they require extra verification.
Identity Verification: You may receive a letter asking you to complete an Identity Confirmation Quiz. This is a legitimate security step; your refund will not proceed until this is completed on the official Michigan Treasury site.
Alert: Scam Letters and Texts
The Department of Treasury has warned of high-quality scam letters circulating during this glitch.

Red Flags: Letters that use aggressive language, threaten immediate property seizure, or provide an unofficial toll-free number for payment are likely scams.
Verification: The official customer service number for individual income tax questions is 517-636-4486.
Text Scams: The state does not send text messages regarding tax debts or refunds. If you receive a text with a link, it is a phishing attempt.

How to Contact the Treasury
If your notice is incorrect or your refund is delayed beyond the standard 8-week window:
Check Online: Use the Where's My Refund? tool.
Submit Questions: Communicate directly through the Treasury eService portal to get a recorded response.
Call Directly: Reach out to the Individual Income Tax contact center at 517-636-4486.

🚨 IMPORTANT REFUND NOTICE PLEASE READ 🚨

Text clients & future filers:
Cash App has been pushing back tax refunds and cash advances. This is causing unnecessary delays.

👉🏽 To avoid problems, choose another deposit method NOW (traditional bank, prepaid card that accepts tax refunds, or in-office options if available).

If Cash App rejects or pushes your funds back to the preparer, the ONLY option will be a paper check, and yes that will delay your money ⏳📬

💡 Don’t wait until it’s a problem.
✔️ Update your payout method
✔️ Avoid refund delays
✔️ Get your money the smooth way

This is a heads-up so nobody can say they weren’t warned. Let’s move smart 💸♟️
