Applicants for Michigan’s home heating tax credit must submit their application by Sep. 30 to qualify for the program. Qualified homeowners and renters are able to apply for the credit each season to reduce utility costs in order to free up money for other essential needs.
Eligible individuals typically file a Home Heating Credit application when completing their individual income tax return. Applicants do not need to file a state income tax return to receive this assistance and may submit the application only.
During the 2025-2026 season, the average household was able to save $171 on their taxes due to the program. To obtain the application necessary to participate in the tax credit, visit their website.
