Michigan Tax Return Under Manual Review Since Feb 11 - Filed MI-1040 and Homestead Property Tax Credit Claim with Possible June Processing

The Michigan Treasury records show you filed two forms on February 4th, 2025 - your MI-1040 (Individual Income Tax Return) and MI-1040CR (Homestead Property Tax Credit Claim). The system confirms receipt of these forms and then shows a status change to "pending review" on February 11th, just a week after filing. This manual review process is particularly common when property tax credits are involved. The status change timing (7 days after filing) suggests this was likely flagged during the initial automated processing phase, which typically screens for verification needs. The key timestamps in your account show: - Initial filing: February 4th, 2025 - Review status change: February 11th, 2025 The fact that you filed both a standard return and a property tax credit claim increases the likelihood of manual review, as the Treasury often verifies property documentation and residency claims for the homestead credit. The June timeline mentioned in the automated system aligns with the typical 4-5 month processing period for manually reviewed returns. Continue monitoring your eServices account for status updates - any requests for additional documentation would appear there first.

Hey, instead of playing detective with your transcript, try taxr.ai - it's this new tool that analyzes your tax transcript and tells you exactly what's going on and when to expect your refund. It costs $1 but totally worth it. I use it all the time https://taxr.ai

im in the same boat! filed in january and got the same message. this waiting game is killing me fr fr 😤

Check if you claimed the property tax credit - that usually triggers manual review. Last year mine took like 4 months ngl

These manual reviews are getting ridiculous fr. Michigan needs to get their act together

bruh just use taxr.ai, it'll tell you exactly whats happening. stopped me from calling the MI treasury 50 times lol

Manual reviews for Michigan returns with homestead credits are super common - I went through the same thing last year. The June timeline sounds about right unfortunately. The good news is that "manual review" doesn't mean there's a problem with your return, it's just that certain credits like the homestead property tax credit trigger additional verification steps. They're basically making sure your property info matches up with county records and that you meet all the residency requirements. Just keep checking your eServices account periodically for any document requests, but otherwise there's not much you can do except wait it out. The refund will come eventually!
