Tax Questions

April 10, 2009  

The City of Muskegon’s resurgence is the result of meeting citizen and business needs. To do that, the citizens successfully passed a City income tax for improved police and fire services.

If you live within City Limits, you are required to pay an income tax. For details on the amount of that tax, please review our income tax main page.

If you have a question about your income tax and can’t find the answer elsewhere on this site, please leave a comment and we’ll respond accordingly.

Thank you,

Ken Grant, Income Tax Administrator.

    How do I determine what is considered city limits for the Muskegon city tax?

    I have a client who says they are not within the actual city limits of Muskegon and therefore we should not be withholding city tax on our employees working out there.

    Is there a map or zip code references I can use?

    Thank you.

    Hello Sue,

    We have a spreadsheet of addresses to help you determine if your client falls within city limits.

    Let me know if you need more information.

    Thanks for visiting,

    Ken

    Hello Diane,

    Here’s the instructions for electronic filing of Magnetic Media: We accept the Federal MMREF format, just make sure you include local wages, local wage code preferably MKG and withholdings.

    Have a great day!

    Ken

    I was just wondering – I’m trying to file my tax return using TurboTax and the software won’t let me proceed without entering a “taxable value of homestead.” Where would I find that information? How should I know, for tax purposes, what my house is worth?

  12. Jeffrey Wilks says:

    Like Alice, I need info on “taxable value of homestead.” Where would I find that information? Who can I contact for further info?

  13. Kristin says:

    We just moved into the City in September. How and where is that calculated on the tax forms so we are only taxed for residence 1/3 of the year? Thanks!
