General Information
The Michigan Department of Treasury requires employers with 250 or more Michigan employees to file MI-W-2 information on 3480
and 3490 cartridge or CD. Smaller employers are encouraged to use magnetic media, but may file using the state copy of the federal
W-2. W-2 reports are due February 28. Late filing is subject to penalty as provided under the Revenue Act.
Do not enclose your annual return with your W-2 report. Mail your annual return to the address on that form. Do not duplicate on
paper forms any information filed on magnetic media.
For W-2 reporting, the State of Michigan currently accepts the federal EFW2 format. The State accepts magnetic W-2 reporting only
in the format published by the Social Security Administration.
Corrected magnetic media files must be clearly marked “CORRECTED” and sent to the address above. Paper W-2Cs that are
correcting information submitted on magnetic media must also be sent to the address above.
