If you are registered with the Michigan Department of Treasury for any Sales, Use or Withholding (SUW) taxes, you have to file a combined monthly/quarterly return for SUW taxes, (Form 5080). The Treasury determines your filing frequency based on your estimated monthly liability for each tax registered: $62 or less for annual filers, $63 - $999 for quarterly filers, and over $1000 for monthly filers. Since the taxes are reported together, your filing frequency will be based on the tax with the highest threshold. Your filing frequency is reviewed yearly, and you'll be notified in writing if it changes.
