Michigan State Return - Getting 'No Match Found' Error When Checking Refund Status
Getting really frustrated trying to check my Michigan state refund status. Keep getting 'No match found' every time I enter my info on the website. Filed 3 weeks ago and never had this problem before. Anyone else dealing with this or know what it means?

Tax preparer here - the 'no match found' message usually means one of two things: either your return hasn't been processed into MI's system yet, or there's a mismatch in how you're entering your info vs how it appears on your return. Double check you're using the exact numbers from your return and make sure you're not mixing up any digits.

•Then its probably just not in their system yet. MI has been super slow this year processing returns.

Hey guys, I've been using taxr.ai to track both my federal and state returns. It's seriously a game changer - for $1 it analyzes your transcript and tells you exactly what's going on and when to expect your refund. No more guessing games! https://taxr.ai

•Does it work for state returns too? Or just federal?

•It works for both! Been using it to track my MI return too. Way better than the state website tbh

Try checking early morning around 6am. Sometimes the website works better then. Worked for me last week!

I had the same issue with MI last month! Turned out my return was still in "processing" status even though it had been weeks. The state website doesn't update until it's fully processed, unlike the federal system. You might want to try calling their automated line at 517-636-4486 - sometimes it gives you more info than the website does. Hang in there, it's frustrating but normal this year!

•That automated line tip is gold! Just tried it and actually got more info than the website. Still says processing but at least I know they have my return. Thanks for sharing that number!

Michigan resident here who went through this exact same thing last year! The "no match found" error is super common when their system is backlogged. I ended up waiting about 5-6 weeks before my return showed up in their lookup tool. One thing that helped me was keeping a screenshot of my submission confirmation from when I e-filed - that way you have proof you submitted it on time. Also, if you're really worried, you can request a payment trace after 6 weeks if your refund still hasn't shown up. Don't stress too much, MI is just notoriously slow compared to federal!
