Find an accountant or CPA in Michigan

Michigan's state income tax is flat, but around two dozen cities - including Detroit, Grand Rapids and Lansing - add their own income tax. Here is how to find and check a Michigan CPA who understands both.

Checking a Michigan CPA

CPAs are licensed through the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA) and its Board of Accountancy, and licenses can be verified online. CPAverify.org also covers Michigan.

Michigan taxes

  • Flat state income tax - check the rate for the year you are filing.
  • City income taxes: Detroit and about two dozen other Michigan cities tax residents and people who work there, at different rates for residents and non-residents.
  • Sales and use tax: 6% statewide, with no local sales taxes.
  • Businesses taxed as C corporations pay the Michigan corporate income tax; others usually pass income through to the owners.

Choosing help

If you live or work in a city with an income tax, ask whether the accountant files city returns as well as state and federal ones. For a small business, ask about sales tax registration and payroll withholding for city tax.
