How Michigan taxable income is figured
Michigan has no standard deduction. A personal exemption of $5,900 (single), $11,800 (married filing jointly) or $5,900 (head of household) comes off before the rate applies. Dependents aren't included. Pre-tax 401(k), health and HSA deductions are assumed to reduce Michigan wages the same way they reduce federal wages.
