Need an EASY way to make a Detroit return nonresident

Did you ever figure out a solution? I am running into the same problem now. Thanks!

Hi @SteveD19 Have you tried calling ProConnect Support about this?  They will be able to remote in and see what you're seeing.  They have the tools to determine if it’s a quick fix, a change in instructions, or a potential defect and whether it’s an issue we’re already reviewing or a brand-new one we need to get reported.

Reporting it through the proper channel ensures your specific case gets documented and addressed by the people who can fix it.

Thanks for helping us out by calling support to properly document this issue. 

The answer is a little tricky. Here's how to do it - totally unintuitive and easily missed:

1. From the index go to Taxes, Michigan Cities
2. Look way up on the right of this screen and you'll see the word "Cities" - it's a link. Click it.
3. Now in the top box drop down the city name e.g. Detroit
4. In the box just below drop down to #2: taxpayer is a nonresident.

That should generate the non-resident return 

What I was hoping for was some simple check box somewhere to indicate nonresident status or the consistency that's in most other state forms.

Good luck!
