Are there any tax relief programs available for low-income individuals?

Yes, there are tax relief programs available for low-income individuals in Michigan. The State of Michigan offers the Homestead Property Tax Credit (HPTC) and the Home Heating Credit (HHC) to provide tax relief for eligible individuals. The HPTC helps reduce property taxes for qualifying low-income homeowners, while the HHC offers assistance with heating costs for eligible low-income households. These programs aim to alleviate the financial burden on low-income residents by providing tax credits and assistance for their property taxes and heating expenses. To qualify for these programs, individuals must meet certain income and residency requirements. More information on these tax relief programs can be found on the Michigan Department of Treasury's website, including eligibility criteria and application instructions.
