Just got this random IRS notice in my mailbox and I'm completely lost. It's a "Substitute Form 1099-G" from the "STATE OF MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF TREASURY" with their phone number 517-636-4486 and Federal I.D. #38-6000134. It says "CALENDAR YEAR 2024" at the top and has "Certain Government Payments" written on it. The form shows I got a Michigan Income Tax Refund of $1,439.00 with $0.00 interest for the 2023 tax year. There's a bunch of explanatory text saying "THIS IS NOT A BILL. THIS IS AN INFORMATION STATEMENT ONLY. KEEP FOR YOUR RECORDS." It also has this explanation: "Copy B For Recipient. This is important tax information and is being furnished to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). If you are required to file a return, a negligence penalty or other sanction may be imposed on you if this income is taxable and the IRS determines that it has not been reported." There's more text explaining Box 2: "This amount may be different from what you actually received for your Michigan income tax refund. It does not include refundable credits, such as the property tax credit (however, some or all of your property tax credit may need to be reported as income on your federal return). It includes amounts used to pay use tax, amounts contributed to voluntary contributions, amounts you chose to credit forward, and amounts deducted from your refund to pay a previously owed debt. The amount shown may be subject to federal income tax if you deducted state income taxes paid as an itemized deduction on your federal return. Interest received on your refund must be included as interest income on your federal return. See instructions for your federal income tax return." It says to visit www.michigan.gov/incometax for more information about the 1099-G. I already filed my taxes months ago and wasn't expecting anything from them. Tried checking the IRS website but honestly that just made me more confused. Anyone know what this could be about or what I'm supposed to do with it? Do I need to amend my federal return because of this state refund?
Whatever you do dont ignore it even if you already filed! Call them or get help understanding it
The IRS website is literally the most confusing thing ever created by humans istg

Pro tip: Let your loan officer know its processing with IRS. They usually understand since everyone dealing with same issues

Sometimes this happens when they're verifying your income or if there's a mismatch with your W2s. Did you get all your tax documents?
Yep I triple checked everything before filing

Call them asap! Non-filer status can mess up other stuff like stimulus payments and child tax credits if you dont get it fixed

Had some forms that couldn't be e-filed š«

When in doubt, you can always call the IRS... jk you'll be on hold until 2026 š¤”
bold of u to assume they'll even pick up in 2026 š

my transcript had this pattern: 971 > nothing for 2 weeks > 846 code (refund issued). prayin for u fam!
this gives me hope fr š

No 570 is def better than having both codes. Usually means they didnt freeze anything
fax no printer š

The IRS doesnt automatically flag based on percentages, they look for unusual patterns and missing documentation. Keep good records and youll be fine š
make sure u got all ur docs together especially from that old job. they can be real clowns about sending W2s on time š¤”
fr fr my last company took 3 months to send mine smh

ngl switching jobs mid year always messes with withholdings. both companies assume theyre ur only income and dont withhold enuf
THIS!!!! Learned that the hard way last year š

2M
this system is straight trash fr

Pro tip: dont waste time checking multiple times a day. cycle 5 is strictly a thursday night update schedule
