HR 10271: Mobile Workforce State Income Tax Simplification Act of 2026

The Mobile Workforce State Income Tax Simplification Act of 2026 restricts state income tax collection on employees who work in multiple states, limiting taxation to only the employee's home state and any other state where they perform duties for more than 30 days in a calendar year. This change directly affects multi-state workers and their employers by eliminating withholding and reporting requirements for wages earned in states where the employee does not meet the 30-day threshold. Employers are permitted to rely on employees' annual estimates of work location for tax purposes, unless the employer maintains a daily time and attendance tracking system or has actual knowledge of fraud. The bill excludes specific groups, such as professional athletes, entertainers, film production staff, and public figures, from these simplified rules, and it takes effect on January 1 of the second calendar year following its enactment.

HR 10282: Stronger Start for Working Families Act

The Stronger Start for Working Families Act amends the Internal Revenue Code to make the child tax credit fully refundable for all eligible taxpayers. By lowering the earned income threshold from $3,000 to $1, the bill removes the requirement that families must have a minimum level of earnings to receive the full credit amount. This change directly affects working families with children who previously had their refundable credit capped based on their income. The provision is scheduled to take effect for tax years beginning after December 31, 2025.

HR 10236: Protecting Student Athletes from Unexpected Tax Liability Act

The Protecting Student Athletes from Unexpected Tax Liability Act requires companies to withhold 30 percent of income tax from payments made for a student athlete's name, image, and likeness. This rule treats these specific commercial payments as if they were standard wages, even though the athletes are not classified as employees. The bill also waives penalties for underpaid taxes in the first year a student athlete is subject to this new withholding requirement. To ensure the policy works effectively, the Treasury Department must report to Congress by 2029 on whether the 30 percent rate is appropriate and how well companies are complying with the law.

HB 6254: Individual income tax: credit; credit for certain employers that provide positional asphyxiation training; provide for.

Michigan employers licensed to sell alcohol, such as bars and restaurants, can claim a $250 tax credit for each employee who completes required training on preventing positional asphyxiation. This training is specifically designed for staff members, including bouncers, whose job duties involve the potential restraint of other individuals. The bill mandates that employers cover the costs of this instruction to qualify for the credit against their state income tax withholdings. These provisions are set to take effect for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2027, provided two related bills from the current legislative session are also enacted into law.

HB 6225: Individual income tax: rate; rollback of rate to 3.9% and elimination of rollback trigger; provide for. Amends sec. 51 of 1967 PA 281 (MCL 206.51).

Michigan House Bill 6225 permanently reduces the state individual income tax rate to 3.9% starting in 2028, eliminating a previous automatic mechanism that could have lowered the rate further based on general fund revenue growth. The bill establishes a phased reduction schedule, lowering the tax from 4.15% in 2026 to 4.0% in 2027 before reaching the final rate. It also mandates specific annual deposits from income tax collections into the state school aid fund and the renew Michigan infrastructure fund, with the latter receiving $69 million per year beginning in fiscal year 2030.

HB 6271: Individual income tax: credit; credit for permits associated with building a new single-family residential unit; provide for.

Michigan House Bill 6271 creates a new individual income tax credit for taxpayers who pay local building permit fees to construct a new single-family home. Starting with the 2027 tax year, eligible individuals can claim a credit equal to their actual permit costs, up to a maximum of $2,500 per year. The bill requires taxpayers to provide reasonable proof of these expenses to the state department if requested. If the total credit amount is greater than the taxpayer's annual income tax liability, the excess portion must be refunded to the taxpayer rather than being lost.
