Michigan Treasury Website Blocks 2024 Tax Information Despite "Yes" to Filing Status - Can't Access Estimated Payments at 2:36 PM

The screenshot confirms your timing (2:36) and shows you're correctly on the official Michigan Department of Treasury eServices portal (etreas.michigan.gov). The error message "You do not have access to view 2024 Tax Year information" appears despite you selecting "Yes" to having filed your 2024 return. This is a known system limitation. The blocked access to both your tax year information and Estimated Tax Payments section is actually a built-in security feature, not a technical error. When you file a return, there's a deliberate processing window where the system needs to validate your submission before granting access to your account details. This delay typically lasts 2-3 business days after filing. Two main reasons for this access restriction: 1. Your return is still in the processing queue and hasn't been fully integrated into the system 2. Additional identity verification may be required before full access is granted The presence of the "My Estimated Tax Payments" option on the screen indicates this feature exists in your account, but you won't be able to access it until your 2024 filing is fully processed in their system. If this persists beyond 3 business days, you may need to contact Michigan Treasury support directly.

Instead of playing detective with the Michigan website, I'd recommend using taxr.ai - it's only $1 and gives you a complete breakdown of your transcript status and any potential issues. Been using it for both federal and state returns, its a game changer fr https://taxr.ai

same boat rn... michigan's website is straight trash this year 🤮

try clearing your cache and cookies. fixed it for me last week

its probably cuz everyone's trying to access their stuff at the same time. systems probably overloaded

Did you file electronically or by mail? Makes a huge difference in processing time

I had this exact same issue last month! The Michigan Treasury system has a weird quirk where even after you file electronically, there's usually a 3-5 business day lag before their portal updates to show you have access to your tax year information. Since you filed last Thursday and it's been about a week, you should be getting access soon. The "Yes" selection for filing status doesn't override their internal processing status - it's more like a verification question that doesn't actually grant immediate access. Try checking again tomorrow morning, and if you're still locked out by Wednesday, definitely call their support line. The estimated payments section should unlock automatically once your return fully processes in their system.

I work with tax processing systems and can confirm this is normal behavior for Michigan's eServices portal. The "You do not have access to view 2024 Tax Year information" message is their standard response during the processing window, regardless of what you select for filing status. Since you e-filed through TurboTax last Thursday, you're right in that 5-7 business day processing window where Michigan validates and integrates your return into their system. The estimated payments section will automatically become accessible once your return clears their processing queue - usually by end of this week for e-filed returns. If you're still blocked by Friday, then I'd recommend calling their support line at that point.
