deciding which ones may be applicable to them. Under the
present arrangement, taxpayers are able to identify the forms
pertaining to them, and efficiently prepare the tax return.
Taxpayers should claim all credits for which they are eligible.

Special Instructions for Unitary Business Groups
Credits are earned and calculated on either an entity-specific or
group basis, as determined by the relevant statutory provisions
for the respective credits. Intercompany transactions are not
eliminated for the calculation of any credits. Credits earned or
calculated on either an entity-specific or group basis by Unitary
Business Group (UBG) members are generally applied against
the tax liability of the UBG, unless otherwise specified by
statute.
Entity-specific provisions are applied on a member-by-member
basis and are addressed in the line-by-line instructions of each
form. In none of these cases does a taxpayer that is a UBG
take the entity type of its parent, Designated Member (DM),
or any other member of the UBG. A UBG taxpayer will not
be attributed an entity type based on the composition of its
members.
Complete one Form 4568 for the group.
Further UBG instructions are provided on the forms where the
credits are calculated.

member’s negative ABI was included on Line 11 (the member 
received a credit and was not part of the UBG in the tax year 
the credit was received), include any loss adjustment used by 
that  member  in  a  prior  period  to  offset  an  ABI  disqualifier. 
Also  enter  any  groupwide  loss  used  against  the  UBG’s  ABI 
disqualifier in a prior period.
Line 13: Subtract line 12 from line 11 to arrive at loss available 
on the current return. If less than zero, enter zero; no loss is 
available.
UBGs: On the Group Copy for ABI, if the group’s membership 
has  not  changed,  that  is,  no  member  has  joined  or  left  the 
group  since  the  filing  of  the  prior  year’s  return,  the  amounts 
calculated on line 13 should equal the amounts on line 16 of 
the prior year’s corresponding columns. If membership for this 
year is different, these amounts may not be the same. See the 
“Supplemental  Instructions  for  Standard  Members  in  UBGs” 
section in Form 4600 for details.
Line 14:  Enter  the  amount  from  line  3  or  line  9,  whichever 
is larger, in the first column where a loss is available on line 
13. In subsequent columns, enter amount from line 15 of the 
previous applicable column.
Line 15: If line 14 is larger than line 13, subtract line 13 from 
line 14. Enter here and on line 14 of the next column where a 
loss is available on line 13.
Line 16: If line 13 is larger than line 14, subtract line 14 from 
line 13. This amount is available to use in subsequent periods.
NOTE:  To  benefit  from  a  loss  adjustment,  the  total  loss 
available for the current year, line 13, must equal or exceed the 
loss adjustment required on line 14.
The  function  of  this  form  is  to  demonstrate  that  a  taxpayer 
that  otherwise  would  have  been  disqualified  from  the  SBAC 
due to ABI, or fully or partially disqualified due to an owner’s 
allocated  income  is,  after  application  of  loss  adjustment, 
allowed to claim a full or partial SBAC.
If  loss  adjustment  is  successfully  applied  to  cure  an  ABI 
disqualifier,  there  is  no  calculated  figure  from  this  form 
that  feeds  to  another  form.  Simply  ignore  the  apparent 
disqualification  on  Form  4571,  line  8  and  proceed  with 
calculating the SBAC on the remainder of Form 4571.
If loss adjustment is successfully applied to fully or partially 
cure  an  owner’s  allocated  income  disqualifier,  this  will  be 
demonstrated by the final applicable column of line 15 being 
blank. In that event, carry the number from line 5 of this form 
to Form 4571, line 11 and proceed with the calculation there.
Include completed Form 4575 as part of the tax return filing.

seller of residential rental units may take a deduction from its
Business Income Tax base, after apportionment, of the gain
from the sale of the residential rental units to a buyer who is a
Qualified Affordable Housing Project (QAHP). To qualify for
a deduction, the seller and buyer must enter into an “operation
agreement” in which the buyer agrees to operate a specific
number of the residential rental units sold as rent restricted
units for a minimum of 15 years. The Department of Treasury
(Treasury) will record a lien against the property subject to
the operation agreement, to enforce the possibility of future
recapture of this deduction.
When the buyer fails to qualify as a QAHP or fails to operate
any of the residential rental units as rent restricted units in
accordance with the operation agreement within 15 years after
the date of purchase, the lien recorded by Treasury becomes
payable to the State. Failure to operate even one residential rental
unit in accordance with an operation agreement constitutes
failure to operate all or some of the residential rental units as rent
restricted units in accordance with the operation agreement, and
therefore is a recapture event. The lien is payable in the year the
recapture event occurs. This recapture is mandatory even if a
taxpayer is otherwise not required to file a return because it does
not meet the filing threshold of $350,000.
Enter a recapture amount equal to the full amount of the
deduction allowed to the seller multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the difference between 15 and the years
the affordable housing project qualified and complied with the
terms of the agreement and the denominator of which is 15.

2008  and  available  loss  of  $100;  and  a  third  column  with  a 
tax year end of 12-31-2008 and available loss of $50. Because 
loss is used on a first-in, first-out basis, the group will use the 
entire amount of loss available ($45) from the column with the 
09-30-2006 tax year end; that is, all of Member A’s available 
loss ($20) from its 2006 SBT year, as well as all of Member 
B’s  available  loss  from  its  2006  SBT  year  ($25).  The  use  of 
the  members’  losses  must  be  maintained  in  the  taxpayer’s 
records.  The  remaining  $20  of  loss  adjustment  needed  to 
reduce  the  groups’  ABI  disqualifier  will  be  subtracted  from 
the  loss  available  in  the  second  column  with  the  09-30-2008 
year end. Members B and C will account for this adjustment 
in their records in a proportional manner. That is, Member B 
will  record  a  $5  loss  adjustment  used  from  its  2008  separate 
tax  year,  or  the  remaining  loss  adjustment  needed  to  reduce 
the  group’s  ABI  disqualifier  ($20)  multiplied  by  a  fraction, 
the  numerator  of  which  is  Member  B’s  available  loss  ($25) 
and  the  denominator  of  which  is  the  total  loss  available  in 
the  second  column  ($100).  Likewise,  Member  C  will  record 
a loss adjustment used of $15. Thus, in subsequent  tax years, 
the  UBG  will  have  the  following  remaining  loss  available  to 
reduce  its  ABI  disqualifier:  Member  B’s  available  loss  in  the 
amount  of  $20  from  its  2008  separate  tax  year;  Member  C’s 
available loss in the amount of $60 from its 2008 separate tax 
year, and the UBG’s available loss in the amount of $50 from 
its 2008 tax year. The loss available to the UBG to reduce its 
ABI disqualifier will not be affected by Member B’s or C’s use, 
if any, of available loss from their separate tax years to reduce 
their respective shareholder income disqualifiers.

Gross Receipts Worksheet
Complete the appropriate parts below based on the person’s organization type. Part 1 is for an Individual or Fiduciary; Part 2 is for a C Corporation (or a
person filing federal returns as a C Corporation); and Part 3 is for a Partnership or S Corporation (or a person filing a federal return as a Partnership or an
S Corporation). Parts 4 and 5 apply to all filers, independent of their organization type.
Gross receipts is not necessarily derived entirely from the federal return, however, this worksheet will calculate gross receipts as defined by law in most
circumstances. Taxpayers and tax professionals are expected to be familiar with uncommon situations within their experience, which produce gross receipts
not identified by specific lines on this worksheet, and report that amount on the most appropriate line. The Michigan Department of Treasury may adjust the
figure resulting from this worksheet to account properly for such uncommon situations. Complete and attach this worksheet to your return. Unitary Business
Groups (UBGs) must complete and attach a worksheet for each member.
Gross receipts, before applying the statutory exceptions, consists solely of positive amounts derived from transactions or events. Therefore, if any of the
federal return items utilized in Part 1, Part 2 or Part 3 is a net result of both negative and positive transactions, it must be recalculated for use here by counting
only the positive elements represented in that net figure.

Additional instructions
a) For purposes of this provision, a hedging transaction is one entered into by the taxpayer in the normal course of the taxpayer’s trade or business primarily 
to manage (i) risk of exposure to foreign currency fluctuations that affect assets, liabilities, profits, losses, equity, or investments in foreign operations; (ii) 
interest rate fluctuations; or (iii) commodity price fluctuations.  Transfer of title of real or tangible personal property is not a hedging transaction.  “Hedging 
transaction” means that term as defined under IRC § 1221 regardless of whether the transaction was identified by the taxpayer as a hedge for federal 
income tax purposes, provided, however, that transactions not identified as a hedge for federal income tax purposes shall be identifiable to the department 
by the taxpayer as a hedge in its books and records.
b) For purposes of this provision, a person principally engaged in the trade or business of purchasing and selling investment and trading assets is not 
performing a treasury function. “Treasury function” means the pooling and management of investment and trading assets for the purpose of satisfying cash 
flow or liquidity needs of the taxpayer’s trade or business.
c) “Mortgage company” means a person that is licensed under MCL § 445.1651 to 445.1684, or MCL § 493.51 to 493.81, and has greater than 90 percent 
of its revenues, in the ordinary course of business, from the origination, sale, or servicing of residential mortgage loans.
d) Professional employer organization is not the same thing as a staffing company, and it means an organization that provides the management and 
administration of the human resources of another entity by contractually assuming substantial employer rights and responsibilities through a professional 
employer agreement that establishes an employer relationship with the leased officers or employees assigned to the other entity by doing all of the 
following:
           • Maintaining a right of direction and control of employees’ work, although this responsibility may be shared with the other entity.
           • Paying wages and employment taxes of the employees out of its own accounts. 
           • Reporting, collecting, and depositing state and federal employment taxes for the employees.
           • Retaining a right to hire and fire employees.
e) For purposes of this provision, a person is related to an individual if that person is a spouse, brother or sister, whether of the whole or half blood or 
by adoption, ancestor, lineal descendent of that individual or related person, or a trust benefiting that individual or one or more persons related to that 
individual.
f) For this provision, the following definitions apply: Cooperative Corporation means those organizations described under subchapter T of the IRC; Pass-
through entity means a partnership, subchapter S Corporation, or other person, other than an individual, that is not classified for Federal Income Tax 
purposes as an association taxed as a corporation; Real estate investment trust means the term defined under IRC § 856; and Regulated investment 
company means the term defined under IRC § 851.

                                             Business Income Worksheet
Complete the appropriate parts below, based on the person’s organization type. Part 1 is for an Individual or Fiduciary; Part 2 is for a C Corporation (or a 
person filing federal returns as a C Corporation); and Part 3 is for a Partnership or S Corporation (or a person filing a federal return as a Partnership or an S 
Corporation). This worksheet will calculate business income as defined by law in most circumstances. Taxpayers and tax professionals are expected to be 
familiar with uncommon situations within their experience, which produce business income not identified by specific lines on this worksheet, and report that 
amount on the most appropriate line. Include an attachment explaining that line. The Michigan Department of Treasury may adjust the figure resulting from 
this worksheet to account properly for such uncommon situations. Complete and attach this worksheet to your return. Unitary Business Groups (UBG) must 
complete and attach a worksheet for each member.

(a) U.S. Forms 1040D and 4797: Report only gains or losses from assets used in a business activity. Do not include personal gains and losses.

(b) For the computation of business income for Michigan Business Tax (MBT) purposes, persons who claimed a federal special depreciation deduction
under IRC § 168(k) on property first placed in service in 2008 or later must calculate the net bonus depreciation adjustment on those assets as follows:
net bonus depreciation adjustment in tax year equals the total federal depreciation claimed in tax year less the total amount of depreciation that would
be claimed in the federal return in the tax year if the person had elected not to utilize the bonus depreciation allowance at IRC § 168(k). A person may
not elect IRC § 179 expensing of an asset for MBT purposes if it did not elect to use IRC § 179 for that asset federally.
(c) For the computation of business income for MBT purposes, persons who claimed a federal special depreciation deduction under IRC § 168(k) on
property first placed in service in 2008 or later and subsequently disposed of that property in the current tax year must calculate the gain/loss adjustment
on the sale of those assets as follows: gain/loss adjustment in tax year equals the total amount of federal depreciation that would be claimed in the
federal return over the years (starting the year the asset was placed in service and ending on the current tax year) if the person had elected not to utilize
the bonus depreciation allowance at IRC § 168(k) on the property being disposed LESS the total federal depreciation claimed over the years (starting
the year asset was placed in service and ending on the current tax year). A person may not elect IRC § 179 expensing of an asset for MBT purposes if
it did not elect to use IRC § 179 for that asset federally.
(d) Generally, IRC 199 was repealed effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. Therefore, most taxpayers will leave this line blank.
However, the federal deduction can still be taken in limited circumstances or it’s possible that a member of a UBG return includes in this return its tax year
beginning before January 1, 2018. In any case, to the extent a deduction was taken in this tax year’s federal taxable income, report that deduction here.
