"Distribution of tax materials from the State of Michigan will begin following the completion of the direct mailing of books to taxpayers. A confirmed date is not known at this point but as soon as a date is confirmed, another e-mail will be sent notifying you when you can expect your materials. Taxpayers can also be referred to Michigan.gov/taxes for copies of the forms and instructions."
The Home Heating Credit CR-7 printing was delayed and that's pushing everything back.
And yes, the beginning filing date for MI taxes will coincide with the later Federal date of 1/31/2014.
So, the bottom line is stay tuned.
