To waive penalties and interest on missing the April 15 or April 30 deadlines for filing and paying annual or required quarterly state income tax; Senate Bill 887 pushed the deadlines back until July 16 or July 30. If the federal tax deadline gets pushed back further than this then the Michigan deadlines would be extended to the same date. The bill would also authorize interest payments to taxpayers on 2019 tax year refund amounts, to accrue starting 45 days after the refund claim is filed.
